A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Chevrolet Classic, fifth generation, 2004 to 2005. Part number SB150.
A fleet only car
The Classic is what Chevrolet called the outgoing Malibu once the new one arrived, sold almost entirely to hire companies and fleets for two years. The 1997 to 2003 Malibu is the same body and takes SB151.
Send us the registration and we will confirm which of the two you need.
Which tells you what the seat is for
Ex hire cars arrive cheap with enormous mileage and a driver’s seat that has been sat in by hundreds of different people. Replacing it with something supportive is a genuine improvement and it is almost always the whole reason for the job.
Ask us about padded or reclining options rather than a fixed racing shell. A hard bucket in a Classic would be an odd decision and you would regret it quickly.
Get the carpet up and check the metal, given the age.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Planted Technology Chevrolet Sub-Frames: Ready For The 2025 Racing Season. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Chevrolet Classic [5th Generation] (2004-2005). Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
