I have a 2007 chevy tahoe LT that has a 2nd row 60/40 bench seat and I want to convert over to 2nd row captains seats. Is there any welding that needs to be done or anything special I have to do for this conversion?

Did you ever find out if you can do this? I also have 2nd row bench and would like bucket seats....until then I removed the '40' version of my bench row so there is a pass through, but on the passenger side.

Make sure that you get captain seats out of a short wheel based Escalade, Tahoe, or Yukon. I believe that the seat base/Bolt patterns are different for the Suburban, Yukon XL, ESV.

Yes, you will need the carpets as well as Galante mentioned!

I have done it twice and it's a direct bolt in.

I have a 2011 Escalade (Short wheelbase) black leather captains chairs and want the 60/40 bench seat. Would consider doing a straight up trade for anyone in the Central Texas Area (San Antonio) within reasonable driving distance.

Yeah should work. On Excursions the holes are there but not necessarily threaded for this conversion. Not sure what GM's frame provisions are. If you're really curious you can pull the upfitter build docs from GM, they're available free to the public. (Can't remember the URL at the moment though...)
