I don't believe there was any such thing from the factory. In 54, Chevrolet had a "Ride Control Seat" or "Unison Seat".

I am aware of only one full width seat design and style for the complete run of Advanced Design trucks. There were some single stye sets for for the panel trucks.

A suburban seat would be more like 66/33. The mounting is quite different and the seats are hard to find.

The sales data book shows as standard in COE but optional in smaller trucks.

This is from the assembly manual and gives the RPO number.

This from Sales Data Book. It was a 54 and I assume 55 1st series only and also not available in the GMC line. A very neat and rare piece.

I suggest you contact the tech advisor for your model bobadler@nycap.rr.com In addition to the information he may have the seat.
