No, the risers on the stock seats connect to the flat part of the seat. The risers on the new seats are part of the reclining mechanism. I had to weld a two support bars and drill holes in the support bars. The width of the risers in the stock seats is slightly over 13". The width in the new seats are 16" so the holes I drilled are inside the risers. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
I didn't think it was too bad. I borrowed my buddies welder and welded two strips of 3/16in x 2 in pieces of metal across the bottom. I used a grinder and cutting wheel to remove hooks and nipples on bottom of new seats Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
A lot of the truck width has to do with everything in the doors and pillars with airbags and sensors. The width of the new seats is 57in, same as the bench seat that originally came on the 1993 Sierra/Silverado.
As the title says. I came across a set a pretty new 2018 front seats from a Silverado and placed it in my 1993 GMC K1500 single cab truck. I had a bench seat with no back support/no arm rest to buckets with an optional 3rd middle seat console that serves as an arm rest. I have connected power to the 12 volt charger and as soon as I buy a new radio I will connect the USB ports in the center console.
New truck are wider but the rear bumpers mold into the body. Older trucks, the bumpers were either straight or wrapped around body. So even though the 2014+ trucks are wider, the bumpers are similar in size. The brackets are wider though. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Side and angled shots. The holes line up but the new bumper brackets are 3 inches wider which is why I welded the bracket. Going back with longer bolts and spacers as well for security Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
I installed them last week with no issues. Did not post pics because there are many before/after pics out there already. They are much righter than stock and make a big difference. Very happy with the kit. I did mount the relay harness on the driver's side where there was more room on the firewall and open incase there is ever a need to troubleshoot. Did not want it hiding behind the intake. Just had to extend the power cable to the battery a little.
