Do all suburbans have provisions for 3 rows of seats

[nm78bronco]

Hello all,

I need a suburban with the optional 3 rows of seats. On more than one occasion I locate a very nice suburban with only 2 rows of seats installed. (These suburbans may have come from the factory with only 2 rows of seats.)

My question is: for suburbans with only 2 rows of seats installed from the factory, would a factory 3rd row seat easily bolt in, or would I need to drill holes or modify the vehicle to get an OEM 3rd row seat installed? Has anyone installed an OEM 3rd row seat on a suburban that originally had only 2 rows of seats?

I'm looking to buy a 3/4 ton 2WD or 4WD suburban in the years 1973-1978.

Thanks for any input in this.

No. If it didn't have third row there are no mounts in the rear. To add them would entail cutting and welding.

Eh, it depends. I think the earlier 3rd seats were a non-removable bolt-in style of seat, like earlier K5's. So it depends on what style seat you pick.

Thanks a lot for the information. I'll stick to suburbans with factory 3rd row seats installed.
