Yeah, that's a Suburban seat.

K5's used a fold and tumble seat. That way it could fold and tumble forward against the front seats, for a very easy way of gaining cargo room

Suburban seats fold and remove completely. This was done because 2nd row Suburban seats fold down flat with the rear cargo floor. The rear (3rd row) seat needed to remove completely to get it out of the way.

You can use that Suburban seat, but you'll have to add the front latch pockets to the floor. Or you can find a donor K5 seat to rob the hinges, latches, linkage rod, support rod, etc and adapt it to the Suburban seat. I don't recall if the seat frames themselves are identical, but they may be.

There's a pair of latch pockets on ebay right now. There's also these brackets I'd look at and copy but wouldn't pay 500.00 fir them.

Iirc, my K5 seats have ash trays in the arm rests too. If I have time, I'll get some pictures of my K5 seats and compare the frames to my Suburban seats.
