Looking to swap a 96 Bench seat

[98GooderMadeChevy]

Will a 60/40 out of 98 bolt up and also need to know if a rear seat out of a Tahoe is possible?

No, thre is an extra pair of holes for the 60 side(Passenger) that would need to be drilled. Also no the rear seat will not bolt up.

Your backwards. The 60 side in a 96, and up year truck is on the driver's side. The 94 and earlier trucks they were passengers side 60 seat. On a 96+ truck, there are holes for that seat on the trans tunnel. As for the Tahoe back seat, you are rite, that is a no go. All of this being said, it is posable to install a 60-40 seat in place of a bench seat, but it will require drilling holes as mentioned. Bucket seats are also an option, but again it is not a direct bolt in.

My first gmt400 was a 93 Wt. I first bought a $1200 40-20-40 custom seat and installed that in it. It was really to much for that truck, so I sold it to a coworker about 1 year later for $900 plus his old 60-40 seat out of His 94 extended cab. That seat fit the truck much better. I had to drill holes for both swaps. The seat in my 97 extended cab was the 60-40. The drivers side seat bottom fabric was worn. I found a set of bucket seats out of a 95 Tahoe at a swap meet. So that's what I have in my truck now, along with the rear section of a console from a 2004 Tahoe, and the front section that I made with the Chevelle shifter that I also built. I just ordered the shift handle, I built everything else. I could not believe how easy that seat swap was. Only the front hole for the bucket seat on the driver's side did not have a hole for a bolt. Not only did it line up grate, it also plugged into the OE harness and the power seat worked. The 60-40 was not a power seat,but did have the lumbar air bag in the seats.

And here I am doing the opposite of most people, my truck had buckets with the console, I am swapping in a bench seat lol.

 

[kennythewelder]

That should be an easy swap I would think.

Yep the outside 4 bolt holes are all that are needed.

I had the 40/60 in my 93 and went to a 99 60/40 with the fold down console. Yes you have to drill new holes. I think 95 and newer have the right holes already in the floor. I like the power lumbar on the 60/40 , just had to run power to it. Would have rather had buckets, but couldn't find any in this area.
