can I add a 3rd seat to 95 suburban??? - 12/2/2006 3:30:41 PM    tracyballard   Posts: 7 Joined: 12/2/2006 Status: offline I just got a 95 Suburban and would like to add a 3rd seat, but this one didn't come with one from the factory (it was originally purchased by the Amarillo Fire Dept. as a fire chief car). Can I just bolt one in there? I really need space for at least one more passenger, or better yet 2 so I can change the front bench seat to buckets. Can bucket seats bolt in there in the back, maybe? Stock? Aftermarket? I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried to add a third seat to a Suburban not equipped for it, or anyone that has any advice on how to do this, preferably safely. Post #: 1

I guess I'll just have to bolt something in back there. (in reply to buster) Post #: 3

Sure it can be installed.  But I would have serious reservations about it.  Like I said, unless you have the right anchors and bolt down system with reinforced floor area, that seat can rip out in a collision.  But hey what do I know, I am just a firefighter who has seen stuff unbolt or rip out of floors because of a "custom job/do it yourself job".  Personally I would not put my most precious cargo (Children) into something that did not come from the factory already installed or have installion ready provisions designed to be added on later.  Good Luck (in reply to consolidatedwm) Post #: 6

As far as adding a third seat to your rig this seems like the way to go http://discountvantruck.com/suv3rdrowseats/92suburbansuv3rdseats.htm I'm holding out until the summer time to see if I can cut that whole section out of a donor truck and weld it in mine. Let me know if you find something different. < Message edited by ChevyTuff -- 1/20/2007 1:25:58 AM > (in reply to tracyballard) Post #: 7
