Electric seats/heated - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok I started on the truck last weekend while I was off and got the new carpet in along with the gear shifter. I had to build the enclosure around the gear shifter also since the old one wasn't level.
I started today on drivers side so I hope to drive it this weekend hopefully. The new fuse panel did fine after hooking up the electric/heated seats.
I got the sub box in and corner drivers side speaker enclosure installed. I need to decide if I want to paint them are cover them with carpet. I also have to fill in behind them with insulation. I have the drivers seat in and wired also.

Are you speaking of the seat's? They are 1999 Tahoe front seats. All the controls are on the door side of each seat. Both seats work great now. The heater in the drivers side I never got to working so I bought aftermarket heating pads for both seats backs and bottoms the factory was just bottoms.
I took and cut the opening just enough to insert the switch in the factory spot and I wired everything to the factory wiring harness. I even wired the heater through the seat belts so if the person forgets to turn off the heater when they unbuckle it shuts off.
I had them in for about 2 months but I found a center console to install and it hit the S-10 shifter so I had to pull everything back out to get the new carpet in after realizing the shifter left a great big hole in the carpet!

where did you find the new covers for the gm seats?
I have a 99 that needs new covers, and those look good.

Thanks I was really pleased with them.

Can't believe they aren't leather covers. I bought them off this site.
