You can fit just about anything in our trucks. The 88 and above full sized Chevy/GMC are alsmost a bolt in and very confortable in my book.
Mine is out of a basic 90 Chevy C1500

I've got the same seat as Purs. My tank is still in BUT you have to move the seat forward in order to raise/lower the center console. It hits the tank in the middle.

I moved my tank so I could put my sub woofers behind the seat.

I am holding out for a leather 40/20/40 out of a f250/350. I will have to look into that 99 sub seat, looks good. Do those come in leather?

I have a second row seat from a suburban in mine. It sits a little higher, but feels great. I put in an Astro van steering wheel to make a little more room to slide my leg past the wheel.
The second row seats are shorter than the fronts. The headrests just peep up into the back window (mine is a small rear window) Has a center console with two cupholders and little thing for kleenex (which I use for my garage door opener). I have the tank still in the cab in my truck. You can get them in leather or cloth from truckandrv.com. Mine cost $140. With the new seat, steering wheel, window regulators and rubbers (thanks GMC Paul), I feel like I am driving a late model! No pics yet, but I'm working on it. OCB |

The center seat has a fold-down that doubles as center armrests and cupholders. Works really well, IMO.
