07 yukon/tahoe leather 3rd row install
esteemed blazer gurus,
i'm going to buy a black leather 07 50/50 3rd row today for my 71. need some advice/tips on this venture. particularly on how they will mount, not sure what mounting plates? the newer modells have the mounts recessed so they don't stick up. one guy suggested going to the junk yard and torching out the entire piece on a new tahoe and then grafting it in to the blazer. (i'd like to take the pathway of least resistance but still make it nice) anyone have any previous experience? pics? anything? thanks in advance.

Re: 07 yukon/tahoe leather 3rd row install
Hopfully someone will have done this and will have the answers for you. I have been inquiring about this for months and months and still I have not found anyone who has actually completed this with these seats. I have a set as well that came out of a 00-06 Tahoe that I want to install. I have only seen pictures of installed sets prior to these years so far.

Re: 07 yukon/tahoe leather 3rd row install
I was going to go the same route but changed my mind. I like the lower backrest of the 90s 3rd row seats, and it matched my fronts.
Heres the link for the install. If you go to the next page you can see it with all the interior. my blazer interior |

Re: 07 yukon/tahoe leather 3rd row install
My friend bolted 2x4's on the original holes then attached new mounts to it,and covered it back with carpet. It looked pretty nice. Also did that with a newer model seats in the front.

Re: 07 yukon/tahoe leather 3rd row install
ok boyz...here they are...just purchased brand spankin new today, never even sat in! (seats were removed by custom limo company)
these are actually 2007 escalade black leather seats! second row captains chairs are going in the front (driver/passenger)...both fold forward for rear entry. i'll be sticking with lap belts for this application because captains don't have integrated belts as you can tell. third row is pretty standard. paid $800 total which i don't think is a bad deal at all. now for the tricky part....installation ![]()

Re: 07 yukon/tahoe leather 3rd row install
Wow! 800 Is A Steal! ANY IDEA HOW ADJUSTABLE THE 2ND ROWS ARE? UP/DOWN, FWD/BACK? RECLINE? THEY WOULD BE ABOUT PERFECT IF THEY HAD THAT 3-POINT BELT...
HOPE YOU POST PROGRESS AND HOW-TO.

Re: 07 yukon/tahoe leather 3rd row install
yeah i had looked for the sierra/silverado front seat in the extended cab trucks because it had the integrated belt and rear access features but just couldn't find em new leather.
plus i couldn't pass up this smokin deal! i don't mind using the lap belts anyhow. don't want to get an accident with the lap belt but "it is what it is". that's what i'm runnin now anyways.

Re: 07 yukon/tahoe leather 3rd row install
Considering what those 50/50 3rd rows can go for on Ebay, I would say that you did well and they are brand new to boot! Hopefully you can (me too!) find a good and cost effecient way to mount up those seats in the back without breaking the bank or a major modification.

Re: 07 yukon/tahoe leather 3rd row install
basically my wife...she wants me to put in the third row w/integrated seat belts so the kids have 3 point belts. so then of course i have to match the third row with driver/passenger seats.

Re: 07 yukon/tahoe leather 3rd row install
ok, so here's the next step...
just got off the phone w/the salvage yard, all 8 mounts are gonna run $150. so these mounts are going to be grafted in to the bed. apparently all mounts are the same from 00-07 in tahoes/yukons/escalades if you have the 50/50 3rd row.

Re: 07 yukon/tahoe leather 3rd row install
someone used to sell the factory brackets, recess and all for about $100 or so.

Re: 07 yukon/tahoe leather 3rd row install
They won't work for the newer style seats, only the pre-2000.

Re: 07 yukon/tahoe leather 3rd row install
It's the safest way to go, they are made that way from the factory. I have a rear from my 05 Yukon, that I'll need the same pieces for when I mount it in the 72 2wd. Dieing for picts!!
