Late model chevy bench...will it work?
This is the rear seat out of a 96-06 extended cab.
Has anyone tried this?....could you modify regular brackets to fit?....is it too wide or short? Looks like it may be a bit skimpy on padding......don't know. Does anyone else?

Re: Late model chev bench...will it work?
You might be able to make it work, but I'd be leary of it. I have an `03 Sierra with the same kind of bench in the extended cab. I can tell you the bottom is shorter than a normal front bench and the back is more straight up and down to make it fit in an extended cab. Might be a bit awkward in actual usage.
Plus you'd definitely have to make new brackets for mounting. They are offset. Last edited by DoobieBrother; 08-28-2007 at 06:00 PM. |

Re: Late model chev bench...will it work?
I've heard the rear seat from a tahoe bolts right in or close to it. I have a seat out of a '91 in my '68. Had to do a little drilling but it fits nice.

What year tahoe are we talking about. My current seat is lacking in comfort and looking for something to replace it with.

Re: Late model chev bench...will it work?
Yes. Tahoe middle row would work much better than extended cab back seat. It has more bottom to it, a more reasonable back angle, and brackets that aren't offset.

Re: Late model chev bench...will it work?
Hey Alschevy, did that seat bolt right up, or did you have to drill any holes?

Re: Late model chev bench...will it work?
I have a second seat from a '98 Tahoe, in tan leather. It isn't what I wanted, but it's what I have. PUTTER has one in his truck and had a nice thread on how to install it.
What I really want is a 40/20/40 seat like the one in my '96 Sierra regular cab. A 92-99 second-row seat from a Tahoe or Suburban has no fore/aft adjustments, so you'll have to fit it to your truck for your butt. The flop-forward bottom cushion gives some storage space that is easy to get to. I think two holes line up and you have to drill two more and add something to space the seat into the right angle for your liking.
