Well that's the thing. I didnt know tahoe has a base model. I know suburbans had a plain model. I know cop Tahoe's had plain interiors too. But each of these vinyl seats had a bench in the front. More commonly I know silverado had wt plain vinyl seats but never really seen bucket. The finish does look like a factory pattern. So I would lean towards yrs factory plain vinyl. Its gonna be hard to find a bucket and that color and not torn up. Most wt model got beat up. If that was my truck I would do 2 things... find a bucket seat that's cloth and install that on the driver side and re upholster it to match. Or second option install 2 grey bucket seats and covert your rig to power

Thanks a bunch for the information! switching the seats is most likely going to by my only option, itll allow me to drive the truck and give me time to keep looking for this particular seat style. If i cant locate one ill end up eventually going to reupholstered route. I really do appreciate the advice!

I've never seen those style seats in a 400 before. Not saying they aren't factory original, though.
They almost look like the Cop car/Taxi base-model mid-80's Impala seats.

I could see that. The headrest is what's tricking me. I figured our 400s only came with bench seats anyways if it was vinyl

Thanks for your input! im beginning to thing they might be aftermarket or modified. The seat base and tracks appear original. All GM hardware and levers. Seat even had the weight sensor(i think) harness on it before it was stolen

I found a document through the gm heritage center that states new for 1998 lists vinyl bucket seats for the base with an easy entry center (no armrests.) but thats the only documentation i can seem to find.

It is on page 7 of this document. The first seats upper left on the page.

In second thought. Makes sense I bet you had a vinyl 60/40 seat. Explains the space in the middle and the oem pattern

Doesn't help you but heres a link of another style seat that's same as your accept cloth. That 60/40 is super hard to find... seems rare. But there may have been 2 styles one vinyl two cloth and vinyl. The link is just random picks of a truck that had it. Seems like there popular on extended cabs
