I have a 3rd row from a suburban I've been kicking around the idea of cutting out the floor of a doner to allow them work in an 89 s10. And now I'm here...
Man I love what u do. Glad u went out of ur way to help out us lazy hot rudders lol. I've been makin my own seat brackets for years. I get I new square amd the first thing to go is all ways the seats lol. If I would stop buyin more trucks I could probably afford ur brackets lol. Keep up the amazing work!
Wish you could come up with a solution to adapt the 14-18 front seats too. Would love a folding mechanism for the front seats. Then you could buy a full set of a 14-18 Tahoe seats for your k5.
Nice I'm about to upgrade my seats on the crusher... Love to install video with your seat brackets brother. So freaking cool man, I love the design alot and I get to weld 😉
I found a set of black seats i am buying those weekend. Once i have them i will be buying your seat brackets... I have an 84 k5 with 454 and 8" lift. I already have my front seats bolted to floor.
I like the idea of the brackets. I will probably buy a rear set. If the front had an option for a manual slider or tilt I would probably get fronts too. I have 2015 Tahoe fronts. Gonna have to find a 3rd row 07-13 for the rear
@@MerricksGarage yah unfortunately I already the front Tahoe seats so I will have to build a slider or tilt into an adapter/mount. I def don’t want my kids trying to use the slow power slide forward every time they crawl in the back.
The interior will cost me a lot more than the swap but it’ll be worth it I went the Holley terminator x max route with a gen 4 5.3 but it’s still not all there I thinks it needs a tune still but there’s nobody in my area to do it, it feels nice but I can’t go over 35% throttle it doesn’t do anything for sum reason
Quick question buddy I have a 71K5 with a full custom cage with Seat mounts front and rear I’m looking for a little more height though these would look pretty cool on my build will the holes On your brackets lineup to corbeau Suspension seats?
That’s a great question. I have been going back and forth on my blazer for suspension seats or another set of BMW seats. What are the measurements and model of the seat? You can email me james@merricksgarage.com
I have a pair of your brackets they work amazing suburban is turned out great I was wondering if you know the weight of your suburban from the front bumper to the middle for your front half weight also what kind of two post lift and what weight lift did you use for your suburban thx
thanks man! Glad you like the brackets! My total weight is 8000 lbs. Not sure how it is split. I would get a 10k lift minimum. My Chinese lift (which I did a video on) was a little scary
@@MerricksGarage I did not see that video I must have missed it which is strange I think I watched just about every single one of your videos trying to figure out what my split weight is on my square body suburban but is torn apart at the moment and does not run what pound is your lift I was looking at 11,000 lb
Gonna have to order myself some of these brackets..... does the passenger side still have the option of tilting forward? Mines a 76 Jimmy that has that and mainly curious
I have the rear brackets and love them. Unfortunately the front ones are way out of my price range. Do you offer a discount if I purchased the front also?
Any plans on having an option with your front seat bracket for second row Honda Odyssey seats? They have integrated seatbelts and fold/slide forward function. Caught my eye. I am absolutely going to go with both of your brackets but cant decide on a front seat. #74Jimmy
Did you remove the link for the plans on this rear seat bracket? Been trying to track it down. The link I used to have to your plans doesn't work anymore.
When I did my 91 conversion onto my 76 k5 I went to a junkyard and cut off the corners of the cab of a newer truck. Then graft them onto my firewall. Cut a slit to allow the hinge to drop in the cowl.
@@MerricksGarage thanks for the heads up. I had bought seat brackets from LMC before I realized you still had weld them up yourself. Definitely need some front seat brackets…
A LOT of manufacturers will place this disclaimer on their products so they're not liable for a saftey deal in court. As he stated.... its up to u. But let's face it, look at the product, it aint flimsy and the welds look pretty solid but end game is my man aint the one doin the install.
Best thing to do is get two bench seat brackets ,and there's a video about 60/40 split seats in a c10. I did it on my 77 with newer seats same setup couple holes to drill
@@MerricksGarage these days he may not “own” a hybrid, he may BE a hybrid. Those seats may make him uncomfortable when he’s wearing his favorite skirt. 😆
This is great, I will be ordering when I start on the interior of my k5

Sounds like you know what you have to do lol
Thank you for a the valuable information. Save us time when hunting in the junk yard. Go Merrick!!!
Those brackets are sweet,
They really help to stiffen up those floorboards also.Thats a win win

By brother in law bought yours to adapt the 99-06 3rd row seats. They're amazing.
dude! Thanks for the feedback. Glad he is digging them!
Brackets look 👍great

that's not a bad idea!
I am finally installing my brackets. I primered and rattle caned black for now. Watching video to see how to install them
I have an e30 M3, I'll probably go with e46 seats for my 74 though 😉
How about brackets for a 1977 k10????...to put more modern front seats ...
Very nice product - thanks!
Nice I'm about to upgrade my seats on the crusher... Love to install video with your seat brackets brother. So freaking cool man, I love the design alot and I get to weld 😉
Great video! Thank you
Very well done…. 👍
I’m ordering mine soon.
New sub.
Thanks
Awesome! Thank you!
Top Notch Sir!
thanks man!
Looks awesome, but it looks like the seats will sit a lot higher off the ground than before?
I'd love to hear some feedback from users....
super impressed!🦅

The tilt function should be in the seat you use. That’s why I recommend seats from a coupe or two door generally!
@@MerricksGarage yah unfortunately I already the front Tahoe seats so I will have to build a slider or tilt into an adapter/mount. I def don’t want my kids trying to use the slow power slide forward every time they crawl in the back.
Dude you're such a legend! Do these fit in the square body suburban as well?
Just answered my own question, no way. its weird the suburbans have a hump for the front seats.
they will fit in the back for the third row
vertical integration 🦅
Thanks Man❕👍🤘
Awesome
do you make brackets to go from a bench to bucket seats? i have a 85 gmc pickup id like to run buckets so i can have a center console.
I’m looking into it
I’ll keep my eye on the channel as well. 85 GMC 4X4, would love to pitch that bench seat over the hill and do buckets.

have you called the Holley Tech support? They are pretty fantastic.
Hello big fan enjoy your builds. Question. Front seat brackets. In cart says quantity 1. Do I need 2 or dies 1 include as a pair?
One set includes passenger and driver.
Thankyou appreciate ya
Is this works for a 94 suburban
no, only through 91
Is there a way to put a second bench in?
I have seen it done. It looked clean, but tight on space.
Neat!

Do you have a front frame that works w/ 94 Chevy buckets in an 85 Suburban
Will the front seat mount work with square body 2 door pickup cabs?
I don't believe so. I think there is a hump in the floor. I can check at my shop though.
Unless u have a crew cab... theres a big old bump at thr rear of the floor so the flat bottom on the mount won't work on a standard cab
Gonna have to order myself some of these brackets..... does the passenger side still have the option of tilting forward? Mines a 76 Jimmy that has that and mainly curious
Its gonna depend on what seat you use. That's why I like the two door German cars. They generally have a fold forward option built into the seat.
I noticed your rear seat brackets say they are fore the square body. Is a 72 k5 considered a square body?
yup. They will bolt down to the factory four holes in the back
I have the rear brackets and love them. Unfortunately the front ones are way out of my price range. Do you offer a discount if I purchased the front also?
I do. Hit me up in email and I’ll send you a code.
Do you have options for the 80s suburban front seats?
what about a center console / jump seat for the front ??
So these are NOT for converting a front bench to buckets?
no, strictly for Blazers at this time
Will these work on a 75 crew cabs rear bench?
Will these also work for a 94 blazer?
kinda depends on what your floor looks like. I don't have much familiarity with the 94, but if your floor is flat like the K5 I don't see why not?!
Will these work in a 72
Yup
Any plans on having an option with your front seat bracket for second row Honda Odyssey seats? They have integrated seatbelts and fold/slide forward function. Caught my eye. I am absolutely going to go with both of your brackets but cant decide on a front seat. #74Jimmy
think you can run two sets of third row seats in a k5 ?
Can it be done? Yes, but it’s a tight fit.
Did you remove the link for the plans on this rear seat bracket? Been trying to track it down. The link I used to have to your plans doesn't work anymore.
yea, I pulled them down when I started selling the custom ones. Shoot me an email and I will see if I can find them and send them to you.
@@MerricksGarage THANK YOU!
Have a 75 k5 with upgrade 87 front end problem is hood hinges to make fit "HELP"!!!?
did you use the 87 fenders? They will have the mounts the 75 fenders won't
When I did my 91 conversion onto my 76 k5 I went to a junkyard and cut off the corners of the cab of a newer truck. Then graft them onto my firewall. Cut a slit to allow the hinge to drop in the cowl.
Hey James, how will these work with replacement floor pans?
Well you could just drill holes if they don’t line up.
Do the come with mounting bolts?
They don't. Not for the front. For the rear I provide the U-Bolts
@@MerricksGarage thanks for the heads up. I had bought seat brackets from LMC before I realized you still had weld them up yourself. Definitely need some front seat brackets…
Hey Merrick would your front brackets work on front seats from a 2005 escalade. I appreciate any response you may give thanks
Yea they fit but keep in mind they raise the seat up 3”. The bases on the Chevy seats already are taller than euro seats.

@@MerricksGarage ok thanks for the info 💯
@@MerricksGarage will this make them too tall?
Common knowledge that the best seats ever made were in saabs!
Only off road use.... means not safe to use on the highway. .?
It’s up to you

no unfortunately the floor is different. Just in a K5 or Jimmy

Dang those are expensive AF!
It’s all relative Mikey!
Can I make some part orders boss
sure, easiest way is over on my website, www.merricksgarage.com
This is rad as fuck
modern seats are too stiff
That’s a broad statement shooter
Uggghhh no I don’t those seats look Terrible. If I wanted minivan seats I would bought a minivan lol.
sounds like you own a hybrid
@@MerricksGarage he obviously doesn't follow ur build lol.
Factory seat belt options are absolute shit. He wanted a safer option for his little ones in the rear. For some a badass ride AND saftey are key
