Gotchas for swapping second row bench to captains chairs

[treehan77]

anything I should look out for if if I buy some captains chairs out of a Tahoe to go into my Yukon (SWB)? Both are 2005 models. For example, different bolts, anything I need to make sure they come with etc, or how to verify? Thanks.

Are the headrests interchangeable between bench and captains chairs?

Bolts are the same, headrest are the same I believe as well. Be sure to get the trim pieces. The inner trim and rear flaps for the back of the seats is almost impossible to find alone. Other than that you’ll love the swap

My 04 Z71 had leather with captain's seats in the second row. You will love them! It's nice to have the opening through the middle for longer things to be loaded and still have the passengers sitting comfortably in their own second-row seats.

No scooching to one side of the split bench while the other side is flipped down for the longer cargo items.

Or, you might add a subwoofer into that space between the captains chairs.

Well the seats looked great but he has to get the plastic covers shipped before I would buy them, he just moved here and that box didn’t make it. Good deal for $150 if he gets them I’ll be happy, and my kid will like to be able to recline some on trips

What are these rear flaps you’re talking about? Can someone take a picture of the second row captains chairs folded down or something? @shelton

 

[shelton]

I’ll get a picture, all the rear seats bench and buckets have them so when the seat is folded flat it covers the gap. It’s spring loaded and bolts to the seat base on the bottom.

They tend to get snagged when loading big heavy things in the back with seats down. One of mine is still attached, but the other one has all the tabs snapped off. I have no intention of buying a replacement. Too much money for what I consider non-essential... So, I just place it where it goes if it jumps out of place when I put the seat down.

 

[treehan77]

Got all the covers and the folding cover things. Thanks for the help guys.

Kid is happy she can recline some now. I swapped my old headrest onto the right seat, since somebody drew all over it.

Those are super nice with little wear! Great find

Looks good man! Those seats are in great shape too! Did you have to modify anything on the floor for the swap?

No modification at all, 8 nuts is all that secures them. Just make sure you get all the plastic snap on covers and the spring loaded seat back cover thing with the carpet on them. Super easy.

I was just curious as to how difficult it was. My rig already has mid row buckets. Lol. I’ve tossed around the idea of swapping to a bench but I don’t really need it so I never have.
