C10 Bench Seat Swap

swapping a 73-87 C10 bench seat with the backseat out of a 2104-2018 Chevy/GMC Crew Cab

[@hunterp6356]

That’s amazing! I’ve been looking for a video describing the process and this did just that. The detail you went into was awesome and you have no idea how much I appreciate this!

[@backyardbowties]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for the detailed run down

[@johngarcon87]

I'm currently following your instructions and welding it up tomorrow. Thank you!

[@krisyaz1545]

Great video.. thanks for the details and putting all the right info in.

[@thegoodshepherd2524]

Thank you so much for the video walk through. Seats look awesome!

[@angelesautomotive]

Thanks!

[@TheVideopreneur]

I had the link for the old video and it no longer worked. Then I found that you reloaded it last month. Getting ready to put this conversion in my 1961 C10. Thanks for reloading. Great Video!

[@angelesautomotive]

Yea my son accidentally deleted the old video, so i had to upload it again

[@TheVideopreneur]

@@angelesautomotive Thanks for doing so. It is a fantastic video!

[@clarin3318]

Looks clean

[@robertochavez8383]

AMAZING🔥 Thank you sir

[@RR-mz9zu]

Thanks bro for this video . Putting my millermatic to use for my 73’

[@marioluna8026]

Super helpful video!

[@PCTVComfortVision]

Top quality video here, man

[@mariodiamonte8531]

I did this seat swap following your video, everything works as you said and showed. The seats are narrower and I hugged the driver side when aligning to keep the steering wheel as centered as possible, although not perfect its good enough. Thanks for the video.

[@angelesautomotive]

Glad it helped

[@Firedowg999]

How do you like it after sometime now with it installed? Does the bucket center with the wheel?

[@kurtissawatzky4689]

Just picked up a crew cab seat from a 2010 Sierra for my k10 and happened to stumble across this video. Should help👍🏼

[@fishenbyfaithoutdoors2589]

Thanks for the info.

[@arthurramirez5305]

Thank you for ur video. I'm A big guy. I'm gonna do the same thing and Also for A little more clearance I'm gonna get a shorter steering column as well. That should be perfect room for me when I'm done

[@barrylipham]

Well done

[@felonebike9859]

Great idea

[@martinolivas319]

Great job and very informative. I’m going to try and install some Chrysler 300S seats in my 76C10 and hopefully mine will come out as nice as yours. Any tips or advice for my build would be appreciated

[@scottdoerksen1347]

Love the video! Looking to do this in a 65’ with a gas tank in the cab. Not sure if you have done this with a gas tank in the cab , but wondering if you think it would still fit ? Thanks

[@Firedowg999]

With the newer seat being narrow, doest it still fall inline with the wheel? Or is the bucket off a bit?

[@trashpandasofalabama9196]

Is the crewcab seat much different than a Tahoe seat besides the Tahoe bottoms folding forward? I have one from a 17 Tahoe.

[@sergeantscumbag2116]

are they comfortable? like something you could drive for a couple hours ?

[@benschoones9213]

Does this not put a lot of strain at the “front passenger” side of the middle seat? Seeing as it’s only connected at the back does it not sag?

[@Dads86C10]

Is the seat rail aluminum or stainless? You think I can oxy acetylene weld it?

[@NDB390]

Looking at doing this. Is it actually comfortable being the back seat? And does it make it a little weird as it is more narrow as far as reaching for the door handle or window crank?

[@robertmarshall7476]

You should do the front high country seats in the c10

[@mlwchevy]

I have done that and they work for me because I am a small person but for anybody with a little height or a little bit of a gut they are way too big. Lol

[@NikolichR]

I flipping love this video! Thank you for putting it together. Question, the black plastic clips that you describe at approx 1:52sec. Is there a way you can re attach them to finish covering the brackets when finished?

[@angelesautomotive]

The plastics cover the seat mounting brackets that get removed, you would have to cut the plastics and fab up some new slotted mounts for them to clip into

[@ejvelarde6129]

Does this move the steering wheel to the driver alignment any?

[@michaelrawlinson1876]

I have bucket seat rails attached to the original seat bracket. Can it still work?

[@lannyfloyd6131]

What did you do with the black seat that was in the truck at the front of the video?

[@leogurrola91]

I wonder if this works with 2010 Tahoe 2nd row seats.

[@loosescrewdrew]

Same process probably for 67-72 huh? Gonna do this soon

[@timruiz8014]

Do the back of the seat lock in place?

[@SuperSamsung123456]

Question with the new seats is there any problems with the seat belt buckles?

[@dartravensshelley6990]

I WANT THIS IN MY C1500

[@Frma-ro7sh]

How’s the space on the sides do you lose a lot of crap

[@TheMarauder00]

I like to remove the head rest. It gives is a more stock appearance. I don't like seeing them in the back window. Nice video 👍

[@lelopimp1091]

I agree

[@LeanedBackLotto]

You make these to sell? That's pretty awesome man

[@josephrodriguez4029]

Have you installed a seat like this into a 67-72 C10?

[@bryancastaneda4433]

Would you do this for a 90s obs chevy single cab

[@bombaman202]

How did you get the seat cover to fit over the upper tabs @ 6:48 ? Thanks

[@brandonyoung4299]

Hey i just purchased front seats out of a 2016 Silverado and im wanting to put them in my 84 chevy i wasn't aware of putting the rear seats in it is that a big no or would it work just fine? Also is there a way a person could keep them electric in a square body? Also this is one of the best seat swap videos ive watched detailed and you make it look easy thanks for the video

[@angelesautomotive]

Ive been wanting to install some from seats myself but havent had the chance to do it, im sure it can be done with some modifications

[@flj232]

If I cut the top pieces at 1”, I get about a 3.5” opening on bottom

[@unbludictable]

Did you do anything to brace the seat along the front as you did in welding the back?

[@angelesautomotive]

No, just boxed in and welded the back of the seat frames together, makes it rigid enough, wouldnt be able to install the seat material and foam if you weld the front of the seat frames together

[@mr.troyediger2650]

Well explained, good camera work. How much higher do you sit than stock bench? (at 6'8", I don't want to sit much higher in my '81)

[@angelesautomotive]

Mine sits lower than the stock bench seat, you can adjust the permanent height of the seat bottom depending on where you decide to weld the seat rail mounts to the seat frame

[@mr.troyediger2650]

@@angelesautomotive Thanks for the quick reply!

[@andrewpate9157]

This looks awesome and I think I would try it but in the video it looks like there is a good size gap between the seat and the door. I know you said the seats were smaller than factory seat is but is that gap really noticeable? I don’t want to do all that work and be sitting on the edge of the seat just to be square with the steering wheel. Thanks for any feedback man good job

[@angelesautomotive]

Id suggest marking your original bench seat with some masking tape, 1.5 inches off each side and that should give you a visual of where the seat will be in relation with the door panel, i dont notice it at all

[@andrewpate9157]

@@angelesautomotive that makes since, good idea I’ve see what it looks like. Thank you

[@islandlife9127]

Awesome video. Seat look good. Does the seat being more narrow than the original one effect the steering wheel from being centered?

[@angelesautomotive]

Nah not really, its just an inch and a half shorter on each side, im still centered behind the wheel

[@islandlife9127]

OK awesome, thanks.

[@kevinfranklin4335]

Would you be interested in pre-modding a seat and selling [with some profit built in for yourself of course!] ?

[@skywalkerMC]

There is a 73-80 seat in my 87 and the seat back doesn’t go all the way to the back of the cab. Does this conversion touch or come close to touching the back of the cab at the top of the seat? I’m 6’6” so I need all the space I can get.

[@angelesautomotive]

Yes, the top of the backseat touches the back of cab

[@darylbrown3648]

Thank you, amazing info! How do the seat belts line up? I am in the middle of my seat swap and I need to replace my stock belts as they don't retract anymore and are now the wrong color. I see some good universal retro offerings from places like Jegs. I also see retro euro belts that have the red push button and look more the belts that would go with the newer seats. I really need to install some new belts with my 2015 seat swap!

[@angelesautomotive]

I ordered some tan seat belts from LMC Truck, used the stock locations. Ill have to make an updated video on seatbelts for it

[@leontan7288]

Where did u weld the 1 inch metal to connect the 2?

[@angelesautomotive]

At 5:28 in the video it shows what part of the bracket to weld a 1" wide spacer to connect the seat rails together

[@gonzolsx8752]

Awesome, have you done it on an chevy obs?

[@angelesautomotive]

Nope

[@leontan7288]

What portion of the brackets did you cut off?

[@angelesautomotive]

At 2:15 in the video tells you what bracket to cut off, they are the seat mounting brackets that are not used, also have to trim some of the c10 slide rail brackets

[@6.liter-beater]

How did you keep the seat back from folding down did you weld them up my seat back flops there's nothing to lock it

[@phillipa7595]

You ever figure this out? Debating on doing this swap soon.

[@6.liter-beater]

@phillipa7595 once you build that center bracket like he shows the seats won't fold anymore! They're bolted to that bracket from the factory so once you box it in they don't move! I did mine 2 weekends ago and I love it

[@kourtneyprobst6339]

Have you done this in a ‘64 c10?

[@jeremyperez406]

Any pics of how you did the seat belts?

[@angelesautomotive]

I bought new seat belts from LMC installed in the factory locations

[@jon7154]

Interested in building and shipping a seat?

[@zeadaddy9671]

Do you think I could do this but on my 95 single cab?

[@angelesautomotive]

Depends on how the seats mount to the cab, but im sure you can fab up a mount to make it fit

[@towingservice29]

Interested in selling that black seat

[@deesanchez5933]

How much would you charge to do mine for me?

[@keithbrooks7956]

Hey I was wondering could I pay you to fab a seat like yours for me just let me know thanks

[@tobysquared]

Where you located? And do you do this for people?

[@tobysquared]

Ever think about making custom kits/brackets for this?

[@angelesautomotive]

Im in SW kansas, yea ive made a few for others in my area

[@mlwchevy]

Is this the same for 07-13 rear seats. Are they any different.

[@angelesautomotive]

07-13 seats are different

[@mlwchevy]

Will it still work with a couple modifications I already bought the seat unfortunately

[@angelesautomotive]

Yea i have a friend that used one of those seats in his, he had to shim it up alot more in the front so that it would lean back more

[@mlwchevy]

@@angelesautomotive thank you so much ill let you know how it turns out.

[@OldGuy54]

Where are you? Would you be willing to build one of these for me? I’d just send to the frames and pay shipping back

[@antoniocuyler]

Do you have a shop

[@angelesautomotive]

Im in the process of having a shop built, do work out of my garage for now

[@rolandomota6315]

We’re are you located can you do mine
