Took out the bench seat that provided little support and no arm rest with a set of front seats from a 2018 Silverado.

That looks pretty good! How did you attach the jump seat? Seats look like they sit pretty nice. Did you have to shim stuff a lot?

The width of the seats including the jump seat is 57 inches, same as the bench seat that came with the truck. The rails on the new seas are wider and they also had hooks and nipples i cut off with a cutting wheel and then used an angle grinder to smooth everything out.

My goal was to use all the existing holes if I could. I welded two 3/16 in thick steel bars on the seats and sat them back in the truck and marked where the holes would be by shooting up the holes with spray paint. Since the passenger side only had two holes because there was a bench seat, after I marked the two holes and drilled them i measured out 10 inches for the other two holes I had to drill because there was clearance underneath at that point. I utilized m10 1.5 60mm bolts.

As for the jump seat. I used one of the existing holes that held he bench seat closest to the driver and welded a 6" piece of steel to the bottom of the jump seat and bolted it down from the rear. I then used two #14 2 inch slef tapping sheet metal screws on each side to hold it in place.

Just dropping into the thread to say, good job!

I found this searching for a couple of mods I'm looking to do that you've already done as well.

They are on the list for me here soon as well.

How did mounting the rear bumper go?

The reat bumper took some work but really wasn't too bad. When you remove the old bumper, you also have to remove the stock brackets from the frame.

Make sure the new bumper has the mounting brackets for the new bumper. They will be about 3 inches wider to each side but the four mounting holes line up.

Use 5 inch bolts to mount the bumper and mounting brackets. I used over sized nuts to fill in the 3 inch gap between the frame and mounting bracket of bumper, creating a spacer. For extra measure, I also welded the mounting bracket to frame where it touched.

Another thing to add to the list. Im jealous of your three cup holders. Are they power or manual?
