Is it just me, or are the "Cargo Lamp" switches hard to find on the internet??

To me these are the easiest to find. They seem to be readily available at my local yard. Fog light are less common in my experience. Found this with a quick search on eBay.

Thank you, brother. I was looking more for the earlier style of switch. They seem harder to find.

My bad! It sometimes slips my mind that not everyone has the 95 and later style interior. Is this correct for your 91?

Extended cab (no third door) question- 1996 k3500- power + ez entry seats… is the driver seat supposed slide forward via ez-entry flip on the side of the back or no? Feel like an numbskull and brought home another bucket seat thinking I’d get the slide and nope

I've been looking for a driver's side rear entry seat for a bit. The driver's side seat in my truck had been replaced and I figured that they guy just shortcut it and grabbed the best condition power seat he could find without worrying about the details.

But, then I see things like this seat pictured below and I wonder what it came out of. I want one of these for my truck. Where should I be looking? Is this possibly a 2-door Tahoe seat, because the 1996 2-door in storage doesn't have it? Is it year dependent?

I’m not expert and if someone says I’m wrong, I am… but from spending the last 2-4 weeks looking at seats on eBay, that looks like a 95+ seat back shape and the only thing I know of that would have had rear seat access, would be 2 door, so maybe an extended cab If not a blazer/Tahoe.

thought. also if never offered in US, doesn’t mean it couldn’t be a Mexican or Canadian seat, or Brazilian. Mexico amd Brazil especially often got neat options as they would keep producing and developing a platform long after it was obsolete or defunct in the US.

The seller of that first seat says it came from a 1998 Silverado Extended Cab. No other details.

The seat below is in a 1997 3-door Extended Cab being parted out. I have to think that the later Extended Cabs DID get the rear entry seat. It might be a 2-door vs 3-door thing. Or a cloth vs leather difference.

And here's the passenger side seat from that 1998 pair. Did 3-door Extended Cabs get the rear entry lever on the passenger side? Or was that only a 2-door EC and 2-door Tahoe thing?

Yes. My 97 3 door, has it. I also keep that feature when I did the seat swap, with seats from a 95 Tahoe, that didn't have it. I swapped seat bottoms with my OE seat,and installed the leaver on the Tahoe seat.

My last truck was a 98 extended cab. Had power seats with the entry feature on both front seats.
