    Has anyone taken apart or know how to take apart seat tracks?

    I bought some bucket seats from an '87 K20 Suburban to put in my C10. I also got the tabs for the front inner corners of the seats. But the problem I've found is that the tracks are different in the rear. The Burb's tracks angle down at the back whereas my pickup's floor angles up. I did some measuring and beside that one difference the lower part of the tracks appear to be the same. The upper parts on my bench seat are several inches longer. It looks like if I can get them apart without breaking anything I can reassemble them using the lower parts from my truck (along with another set) and the upper parts from the bucket seats.

    you might have to custom fab it all up man..I put blazer highback buckets into my 86 half ton and i took all the brackets off the bottom and used the original tracks off the bottom of the bench seat. bolt them to the floor and mock it up.. i put a piece of square bar across the brackets welded it and welded some brackets to the bottom of the seats to bolt to the bar... u can make it work

    I ended up just using the Suburban's seat tracks. All I had to do was bend the rear mount up to match the angle of the pickup floor.
