99-06 Silverado Seat Swap - Info and Pics

[jc06vmax]

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section, so mods feel free to move it if I'm wrong...

This weekend I picked up some cloth seats and off Craigslist from a 2001 Silverado. Oddly, both the driver and passenger seats are electric. I had never seen an electric passenger seat from a 99-06 truck. I know heated seats were an option during those years...but I'm not sure if you could get heated cloth seats. How would I figure out if the seats are heated or just electric?

Also, I have seen pictures of trucks and Blazers running 99-06 GM truck seats on here. If you have these seats, please throw up some pics of how you have them mounted. I haven't had a chance to take out the old seats and see what all needs to be done/built to get the new seats in. Any info is greatly appreciated!

Here's a pic of the seats (I know I've got them sitting backwards..). I don't plan on using the console because i like the factory one better...but who knows.

Not the same seats, but I put 98 or 99 Silverado seats in my 69 K20. A big issue is the integrated seat belts are going to put some big forces on your floor in areas where your floor hasn't been structurally designed to withstand.

Here is a link to my thread of my installation. It will at least give you some insight on installation.

I didn't even think about supporting the floor from a safety standpoint. That does make sense though. It looks like you have a pretty sturdy setup. Thanks for the info!

Keep the posts coming. Let's see some other set ups, pics, and hear some other opinions.

Yeah I didn't figure they would be heated, especially with them being cloth. Doesn't ever hurt to hope a little though

My 02 2500HD has both power cloth seats. I know in 04 they took away the passenger power seat,(& underhood lamp, and glove box lamp.)

I think you had to get leather to get heated seats.

my 2000 silverado 2500 has cloth seats, not heated. heated wernt untill 01 or 02 and only in leather. There is a bunch of guys here that have installed these into there trucks/ blazers. begin the browsing in the build section and you will find them. also there is someone that makes the brackect aswell. cant remember who off hand, but you may come across the lionk in one of the builds.

They started taking a bunch of stuff away around 04 and 05. I know for 05 they took away rear disc brakes and swapped them for drums. They did add e-fans that year though.

I figured they would only have the leather ones heated. Thanks for the info. I always try to jump into the build threads looking for one specific thing then find something else that sparks my interest and end up on a completely different tangent than I originally intended haha. Sooner or later I'll stay focused long enough to find what I was actually looking for. Hopefully...

I found from JDubBlazer's build thread...Post #95. It's not super descriptive or anything, but better than nothing.

...found Snowblind's build thread with some info about the seat swap. Hate to see his ride gone...I used my old Blazer for a ski/snoboarding vehicle...they're perfect for it.

I'll keep digging...
