first time on the forum, looks like a great place for info and good people
i have a 2001 silverado ext cab with front bucket seats and jump seat (soon changing to center console), with rear bench seat. i want to do bucket seats in the rear with a center console. anybody done this or have any ideas. first thought was get front seats and put in back, but the depth of the seats are too much. so search continues......

First off

On the seats, I can not think of a single conversion to buckets that I've seen done or even a bucket seat that would fit back there. Good luck and let us know what you figure out.

You might consider smaller bucket seats out of like a Toyota MR2 or like a Datsun 280z.

The trouble would be getting them to bolt in safely as well as matching colors so it looks natural.

Good luck. Let us know!
