Center Console Swap

[Ghostsniper]

I was wondering if it would be a simple process to swap out the small thrid seat/console in my 99' Chevrolet Silverado with a centor console out of the Tahoe or Suburban.

should be fairly simple....make sure that they are the same body style

So i should be able to just find one from the same model/years , and just swap it in? I wont need to do anything different with the seats or mounts?

Nope, all you really have to do is pull off the seats and then pull out the center seat. the process is as follows:

 

Remove either the driver seat or the passenger seat.

Remove the opposite side seat

Remove the "jump" seat

 

install new console first

install either driver or passenger seat

install the opposite side seat...

 

If you look closely, the center seat/jump seat has "legs" that go under the seat tracks of the outboard seats. Those "legs" are sandwiched between the floor and the seat track - holding them in place....I will find one of my pics

Make sure that it is on the same body style....dont get a GMT400 console with a GMT800 console....
