As far as I know, it's original

Would you happen to have the paint code or RPO for it?

It wasn't too hard to put in seats from a 2018 Silverado. Plus, was good to add a phone charger to the center console.

So how hard was that seat transplant to do? I have a '93 and have been drooling over a Denali set from the mid 2000's . I get the idea that you move riser and all and fabricate some brackets. Is that correct?

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.

On the jump seat, I used some self tapping screws to secure it on the right and left side. and I welded a piece of 6" piece of steel to the bottom of the jump seat cross bar and bolted it down from the rear to an existing hole on the floor used by the bench seat.

The jump seat has an AUX/USB port and 12V power port - I didn't use the existing AUX/USB because my radio connects to phone via bluetooth and existing USB did not want to connect to radio when I tried using it. I bought a 25' USB that went from radio through dash, routed along door panel and back up through back of jump seat and I used the existing hole for the AUX/USB for the new one I ran. Used a small piece of plexi to create a holder for the USB. As for the power, I ran an wire that from my amp (ignition line) and spliced into the red power line for 12v output. If you don't have an amp, you can choose either an ignition or 12V hot line from fuse panel. I only wanted power on mine when vehicle was on.

Rear lights were pretty faded and was just going to replace bulbs with LEDs. Ran across these lights and figured why not.

Wasn't sure how I felt until the evening and thought they looked pretty good. Reverse light is much brighter than stock for sure.

Never dawned on me I had lights in the footwell until the other day. Saw a bulb and noticed it was out. Ordered some LEDs. Not bad
