The Stupid Interior Questions Thread

Does every year model 88-98 have foldable arm rests? My 93's don't budge. Is there a mod for this?

Are you talking about the armrests on bucket seats?

I am not sure when it was introduced. I know the 96 Tahoe with leather seats have the foldable armrests. That is what I installed in my 89 earlier this week. Also the buckets even though they came from a 4 door vehicle still fold forward to get in to the back of my ECSB rear seating area which is a must since I don't have rear doors.

Yes the bucket seats. I've seen 92s and 91s at the yard that have them, but they could just be marked wrong.

My interior is blue and if I could find some I would pay good money for 95+ blue leather bucket seats and ext cab backseat

I know that the armrests on 1994 buckets folded--to remove them, fold them up and press in on the pivot point to release the spring. I don't see why the earlier ones would not function the same way, but agree that it's odd if both armrests are stuck.

It would be nice, my dad swears up and down they used to fold when he had it. I'll try a few firm pulls, breaking it would suck.....

Does anyone know how to remove the armrest from a 1995 up bucket?

Those use a c-clip to hold the armrest pin in the seat. Here's a video showing a 99-06 seat, it's the same for the 95-98.

Anyone know what color of SEM Color Coat matches the 96+ tan interior best? I know Saddle Tan matches the 95 tan very well. I tried Castella, which ended up looking close with poor lighting, but is too pink otherwise. Thinking medium prairie tan might be it.
