FINALLY got my dream Truck Want to replace console jump seat


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello Everyone!!

I finally got my dream truck, took me a few years, just couldn't afford one "new"
I got a 2012 Silverado 1500 extended cab, 4X4, long box, with cap!!, just brought it home a day ago, had one owner (an older guy like me LOL)

The actual truck is in my sig cut out from a sales lot picture, will take some shots soon

Very Clean, 19,000 miles, got it for $20,000

I really wanted the long box and they are harder to find, a month ago I found one for sale in Delaware, it sold in two days :(
Found this one at a Chevy dealer in Allentown PA (54 miles from my home) and saw it had the cap already, what luck !!

Checked the Carfax and saw it really did only have one owner (he bought it from the dealer I got it from, he was trading it in for a new one)

My kids and I are walking around on clouds, We are so blessed to have managed this deal

Anyway, I want to replace the center console jump seat from this one :
(that has no real storage)

Anyone know where I could get one ?

Thanks!!

Hi Bob,

 

Thanks for the reply, I guess I should have said "looking for a fair price" I saw the ones on eBay, can't believe they are charging that much, I noticed the ones for the 2014-2015 are half the cost, they must know everyone is looking to upgrade the older WT's I am going to call all my local yards Monday to see if I can get lucky with a wreck

 

I was hoping someone might have one on the forum, Thanks again!

 

Very nice conversion, good luck with your new truck.

 

Hi Gurrzt, Thanks!

 

I've been waiting to get this truck for a few years while I got my finances under control, I am a single parent with three kids so it can be tough

 

It is a nice conversion when you only have a WT, it has very little in the way of console storage upfront, I wanted to do it right away but not willing to go $400 LOL

 

Right now I'll just get a cheap after market console for the floor hump (unless I can find one for no more than $200)

 

Welcome to the group Joe, good looking truck!!

 

Hi Steve, Thanks !!

 

I know it's "only" a WT but it's all mine LOL, it's really a dream come true for me and my kids, we are VERY Happy and Blessed to have this BEAUTIFUL Truck

 

We are planning to buy a small five to ten acre Farmette to retire on and this Truck is the first part of fulfilling that dream

 

I took some pics over at Valley Forge National Park under General Anthony Wayne riding his horse into battle in our revolutionary war from England

 

It was the first time the kids rode in the truck :)

Nice truck, congrats. I feel your pain about the jump seat. I've been looking for the same upgrade since I bought my '13 Silverado a couple years ago. One thing to remember is that you can still get something for your old one since they seem to be selling also. I always thought that offering to return the old one at a local yard might help since they would still have a full seat set to sell. Since I've never found one locally I haven't tested my theory though. I'm still not ready to drop $400 on the bay so I'm still looking too.

Thats a very clean and nice truck with super low miles. Did not realize they could be had for that good of a price !

Morning Joe,

 

I have been looking for one as well for quite some time, If you check the yards or used parts places I can find them for around 200$ Cad. If you want to fix one up you can buy them for around 150$. I haven't bought one yet but it's definitely on my list of things to do.
