08+ seat swap 97 Reg cab

[AirmanSkee]

I found a pair of 08+ seats for a killer deal, and am working on the swap for my interior to black. Do you guys think these would be worth it? And how much work is really into the swap?

If they have the seat brackets, you could look at either using your stock brackets with those seats, or drilling new holes for those brackets (probably the easiest route).

Looks like a good deal to me. Relatively new, and they were designed to fit in a truck's cab. Offer him $80 and see what he says. Might as well try and knock it down, but even $100 seems reasonable.



One thing I should mention, I would rather jump on these than a set of GMT800 seats, because those have the seatbelt built-in to the shoulder, which would be redundant in our trucks. These seats are made for an externally mounted seatbelt.

That's what I figured. I would like to see anyone who already has done the swap though! I don't get home til the 7th though.

Bolt 'em to the risers you have now. They'll probably bolt right up. Probably. GM was pretty good about being consistent with that bolt pattern.
IIRC, that female seat belt end is bolted to those risers, or the tracks. Remove that end & use the ones you already have in the truck.
They look to be in nice shape. Around here, $100.00 would be a steal!

I'm pretty darn sure you'll have to drill new holes but for $100 in that condition, and it's what you want, who cares.

That's what I am hoping! And they are already what I am looking for color wise! Would definitely give me a jump on the interior swap!
