Curious if the middle seat for the 1960 Suburban is the same through years 1960 to 1966? Welcome advice and any knowledge on this subject. THANKS

I'd also like to see pictures. I suspect the rear seat in my '54 is from a '60-66. I'd like to compare. Thanks.

The middle seat is suppose to be the same from 1960-1966 according to Jim carter,are you needing one ? It has a metal tube arm rest on one side.

Thanks,Tim

correction, the 1960-66 Chevy middle seat are all the same except the mounting holes. the 1960-62 are the same as chevy, but the 63-66 GMC's have the flat brackets for mounting the seat on the slider rails.

I was hoping someone could tell me if mine is indeed a '60-66 middle seat. It looks to me to be a mate to the back seat I have that RJ has identified as '60-66 Chevy.

rear seat 1

rear seat 2

Your red seat looks like a rear seat but in the middle. There were no mounts in the middle for a full size seat. Just a 3/4 seat.

Yes, it is a rear seat mounted in the middle position. It does not mount properly in either position in the '54. It is mounted to 2X12s which are bolted to the floor.

On '47-59 Suburbans the rear seat will properly mount in the middle position.

My '62 has two sets of key-hole mounting plates in the floor--one for the short middle row seat, and one for the full-width rear seat. My full width seat mounts in the middle just fine.
The guy I bought my truck from had a '61 Suburban, and didn't realize he had the same arraingement until AFTER he sold me the truck and the "spare" full-width rear seat he had for an extra $100.
He said "You can probably cut this one down to fit in the middle." I said "I think it'll fit as-is----here, watch..." and bolted it in place. He was sick when he realized it! He needed a full-width one for the middle of his '61, but was making due with the short one.
