i just put some in mine. there is a bar on the center rear hump that i had to cut off. and i was not able to use the little leg covers from the third gen. i also need to order the seat belt holders since i bought dark seats.

4th gen rear seats in my 87 IROC...Yes the single back fit with no problems.

you have to cut the bar in the back on the drive shatf hump or it will show through.
not a hard job, just need a cutting power grinder.

you only have to cut the bar IF you had an OEM split rear seat... If your back seat was 1 whole back piece from the factory (and not 2) then you should have no problems at all...

In my old 92, I swapped the OEM split rear for 4th gen single rear seat & never cut out the pivots in the middle. They weren't in they way either.
