Seats in a mid 90's Truck

I am giving a Maestro and a Big Kid Sport booster to my cousin for her 3 and 5 year old, I don't think they have any seats at all, I have not met the kids but I've been told they are a little smaller than mine. Their main ride will likely be my uncle's truck which I think is a '94 extended cab Chevy, only 2 doors.

What are the chances of these seats fitting in the back? I don't know if the truck has airbags, if it has a driver's side airbag does it effect the center seat?

My parents are helping them move and they have no experience installing seats but are competent bucklers. I need to find the manuals.

What about the booster overhang? I've heard this is a problem in trucks but I've never had to deal with it.

For an extended cab trucks, particularly the older ones, the starting point for any FFg seat is a shallow-bottom, very upright seat. I would guess that most dedicated boosters won't work in the truck, but you won't know until you try. The Harmony LBB is pretty shallow front to back

That's the $13 walmart seat right? Unfortunately it's unlikely I will be there when the seats get put in the truck, I really hope they get used. I wish I'd known why my mom was asking about spare seats at Christmas when I could have talked to my uncle and looked in his truck.

Sorry I just re-read your OP. I'm not sure about the BK booster. You would have to try it. Does the booster manual allow overhang? Usually not

I can't find anything in the manual, but I sometimes miss things when a bouncing 5 yr old is asking for food.

I have a 97 Dodge Ram extended cab and the back seat is pretty decent sized. I just did a google search and the back of the Chevy looks very similar. I have had no trouble with a Turbo, Harmony Dreamtime or True Fit back there.
