Swapping tilt rear seat in a '74

[CharlieC]

Any reason not to swap the fixed seat in a '74 for a later model that tilts forward? I assume the older Sub rear seats will work?

Thanks

I sorta like the tilt up seat in mine... but on the other hand i REALLY like the folding/removeable one that was in the 90 suburban...
but on the OTHER hand, even though i cut the floor out of a suburban and intended to swap one of those seats into my K5, after 6-8 years... i still have not

I ended up getting some floor mounting point cutouts off of eBay that supposedy came out of a K5. I’ve seen several 3rd row Suburban seats that look the same As the K5. One guy local here selling a Sub 3rd row said he thought they fit K5’s with some kind of mod to the armrests. I’ve seen some 3rd row Sub seats with armrests and some without.

Here’s a pic of one on eBay.



Anyone know the real story on the Sub seats working in a K5?
