My third gmt400...

I'm honestly more of a fan of the 60/40 split bench than the buckets. But take what you can get, I guess.

I am too, but as you said, you take what you can get. I did find some of these trucks for sale on CL within a 3 hour drive of me, but they all had issues.

seeing as how you dislike the pushbutton 4x4, here is some food for thought.

part of that nose has been replaced, maybe they took the brushguard off during the nose job & didn't fully bolt it back in? I would look @ the rest of that nose & verify that none of the bolts are missing & that they are fully seated.


As for the bucket seats & console, just find a nice 60/40 split bench seat that you like. You'll only need the driver's 60 side, unless the fabric doesn't match. If you do need the passengers 40 side, make sure that it tilts, otherwise someone is not getting in the back seat. Don't forget to grab the inboard seat belt buckles & verify that the outboard use the same buckles, there are 2 diff styles. When you take your console out, just put the bolts back in holes. The new to you seats will use your existing floor mount holes.

Well I was going to run to the part store and get some transmission fluid and a cmp sensor but then this happened last night...

Not a good idea to drive on snow with HT tires on that truck

I'm not to concerned about doing a swap right now. As long as it works, it's fine for now.

I took a look under the guard and they both didn't use washers and didn't use proper size bolts. The bracket that holds the guard to the frame, the bracket is quite literally trying to slip off the bolts.

If they're bald, sure. Highways have snow too. Just admit you're scared of the snow down there.

Yup both have there plus and minus. Although I've seen some interiors where people just put in the new silverado console/seat. Sounds like a good idea for storage, cupholders, and under seat lockable storage
