2008 silverado seat upgrade - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got 2009 Silverado seats on ebay to replace the bench seat.

The swap was fairly easy and took about a couple hours to put them in.

Built my own center counsol

For anyone looking questions answered feel free TO PM me !!

How much head room do you lose? I've got a set of 2010 buckets I was thinking of using but they just seem so tall. I'm 6'4 300 and cant afford to lose much interior space.

The seats are taller by a couple inches , main issue I had was the ssteering wheel. I had to change the spacer from 2 inches to 3/4". As far as comfort goes they better than a bench seat, and also keep you from sliding all over

Hi! Can I get you to send me a few pictures of how you mounted the Silverado seats in your truck? I bought a similar set and I will be doing the same swap. Basically, how you mounted them to the floor, any brackets/braces you may have made.
Thanks!

Did you see my post? I'm interested in seeing how you bolted them in. I just bought a set of these seats and want to see how they bolt in.
Thanks!
