I will get you some pics of mine. Got a 2002 silverado bench seat in mine right now. You have to re-drill the seat holes, but that's about it

mothertrucker424 · 01-05-2008, 04:33 PM

thank you

The pic is blurry, but you get the point. Fits real well, and looks good too, IMO.

djracer · 01-09-2008, 08:12 PM

That is the seat of choice to me!

i did a rear 90's tahoe/suburban seat......

Sicmaro, that looks great! I'll try to get some better pics of mine when it's not pouring rain outside, and I can take it out in the daylight.

shopking72 · 01-10-2008, 07:04 AM

those are nice seats. I am still on the hunt for mine, I just found a 99 silverado seat for $200, does anyone have any pics of this year? Or know if they have seat belts built in to the seats? thanks

ChevLoRay · 01-10-2008, 07:41 AM

I am going to put a 2nd-row seat from a '98 Tahoe in mine. PUTTER, a member, had a thread on the installation he did in his truck. You won't have any fore/aft adjustment, but who else are you gonna let drive it, anyway? Found my seat in the paper, listed for $200, but got it for $125. It's tan leather, and I wanted a grey seat, but now have decided to redye it in red.

The trick seat for years was the 88-98 truck seat, but they have dried up as far as finding one in good shape....except the one in my '96.

snacob14 · 01-10-2008, 09:00 AM

i just picked up a tan leather rear seat from a 98 tahoe for 50 bucks at a friends junk yard. I could probably get the fronts if anyone was interested for around 125

Wasted Income · 01-10-2008, 09:05 AM

Yes, a '99 silverado (new body style) will have the seat belts integrated into the seat. You will need to put some re-inforcement plates under the floor when you bolt the seat down, to keep the bolts from pulling thru in the event of a collision.

I DO have fore-aft movement of the seat, on the tracks. I have it all the way back though, because I'm 6'3" 290...

Hey guys,can you use these seats with the gas tank in the stock
location?

I think you could use the one I have. I haven't measured, and my tank is relocated, but I think it might work. Decent amount of room. I can take a couple measurements next time I fire up the garage heater and go play.

ChevLoRay · 01-10-2008, 10:06 AM

The second-row seat I have is usable with the tank in the cab.

BigDaddyDave · 01-10-2008, 10:29 AM

Thanks guys,for the quick response,my wife said that she could keep some money,if i would stay off of this site.HAHA One last comment,all of your seats look awesome!

I have buckets out of a 04 Tahoe in mine. They fit perfect.

Yeah, the buckets and the 40-20-40 bench seat are the same bolt pattern, unless I'm mistaken.

The seat base looks identical to the leather buckets in my '05 2500HD.

Duner97 · 01-10-2008, 03:13 PM

I also used the same style seat as the rear seat from a tahoe, but from an 05 GMC crewcab, same difference. Once ya make the brackets, its fits great, a lil high, but thats alright. heck, for $40, I couldn't pass it up, especially since thats exactly what i wanted!
