2014 front seats going into my 96 2 dr tahoe

[th3 shifty]

Figured my rebuild is on the other thread so I’ll start my interior thread here.
Just bought 2014 Silverado seats for my 2 dr tahoe. I’ll be buying the www.obsoutpost.com brackets to use these. I also plan to get a GEN5 3rd row to use as my 2nd row. All these have been proven to be an upgrade in both leg room quality.
I’ll also be detailing my head unit and front and rear camera installs here once the truck is up and running.

Rough country makes some really nice fitting neoprene seat covers for them that are reasonably priced the clothe got destroyed in my dads work truck within the first year just a forewarning if you work out of it a lot

 

[th3 shifty]

Thanks for the info, it won’t be work truck. Just the occasional commuter and mostly a weekend fun truck

Just placed my order at OBSoutpost for all 3 seat bracket sets (front seats, center console, 3rd row)

I also was able to secure a 3rd row, from a 2015 tahoe, that was the exact same color and cloth to my 2014 fronts.

Seat brackets from OBSOutpost came in today. This is their front passenger and driver, middle console jump seat, and rear 3rd row(going into my 2nd row) bracket set.

They came very well packaged, and clearly labeled. This is in raw steel, I didn’t opt to powder coat them or have them laser engraved. I’ll paint them before they go in. I already modified the seats as per their instruction video, so I should able to get these in fairly quickly

Nice!

I want to do this with mine, looking forward to seeing your install pics!

 

[th3 shifty]

Well I got them all in and they look great, these brackets are made perfectly. No squeezing or modifying or trying to even them up. I forgot to take a final pic of the install but I’ll post what I have. Tomorrow I will get more pics and my thoughts but here is what I have

Back seat fully installed. You have to drill 3-4 5/16” holes where the flap used to be, you take that out it’s no longer used. Then 1 bolt between the seats

Center console. Again easy install, what is a bit challenging is the padding under the carpet. I had to trim some out but it didn’t take me long

Here are a few others

Anyone know what the little receptacle thing is on the outer side that looks like something you would plug a seat belt into is?

 

[Tonyrodz]

Looks great. Really updates the interior.

They are super nice to sit in compared to the stock seats. I had reupholstered and put new foam cushions in the old stockers but I just didn’t like the lack of support in them.

 

[th3 shifty]

The brackets are expensive I won’t lie. I spent a little over $900 for all 4 sets. But they are perfectly engineered and fit like a glove, couldn’t do it without them.
I also painted them using the same trim paint I got from LMCtruck to paint the plastics, I just didn’t need to use the plastic adhesion promoter so that’s why they blend in very well color wise

 

[OBS_Alex]

Does the back seat still fold down? How's it look with it down?

 

[th3 shifty]

Yes still folds down, and goes flat because this seat actually sinks a few inches in the process

Is that the original carpet? Really nice shape for the light grey color. Super nice interior!

 

[th3 shifty]

No it’s not, I did the carpet a few years ago. Can’t remember who I bought it from but I think it was a seller on eBay… that or LMCTruck.. don’t remember.
After driving around town for a few days I must say I LOVE these new seats.. super comfortable, keep you well planted in the seat, we fit all 6 (4 kids, wife and me) in the truck the other night, thanks to the jump seat.. 2 of my girls are adult size.. it was comfortable and they loved the new rear seat

Do the front seats allow easier access to back seat? Does this mod require any rewiring of front seats? Looks real nice I may consider it for my 99 2 door.

The original seats in the later 90s ones are more comfier then newer ones when they aren't worn out. But that can be hard to find and grey is hard to make that clean too.
