Swapped cloth seats + center bench --> leather seats + full console

[rocky rc]

The seats and console swap took almost 3 hours. My truck did not have a plug for the full console harness, so it is unplugged for now. I bought the interior set from a local junkyard. Set was both front chairs, rear bench seats, full console, and 4 door panels. Door panels swap is pending. The driver seat is now power adjustable. Surprisingly was plug n play, no additional wiring needed.

 

Donor truck: 2019 Silverado 1500 RST crew cab

My truck: 2021 Silverado 2500 Custom crew cab

 

Only issues were a gap between full console and dash, rear doors need a longer lock wire rod and additional mount hole, and no power to USB connections in full console. The trim panel for gap is part# 84127263. The 2500 lock wire rod needs to be lengthened by 3 inches to work with 1500 rear door panels. The 2500 rear door top trim will require a small mount hole to accept a push mount tab on 1500 door panel.

For the gap under the console, on trucks built with a console there is a trim piece that snaps in there.

See the YouTube at 2:53

 

Others that have swapped in the console may chime in.

 

Looks great!

That's the part. Looks like I will need to move the console to install it.

Any idea what made the power seats plug and play? Wondering if there is something I can look for in my truck see if it is this easy before I purchase seats. Thanks.

Did you ever get an answer from anyone?

I just purchased a floor console for my 2021 Trail Boss Custom. Waiting for delivery. After watching some Youtube videos and reading Roberts post I looked under my passenger side seat and I do not see a connector or a wiring harness to connect to the console. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so how did you wire in the console? Can I add a harness/connector under the carpet on the floor? I made sure to pay extra for the console wiring harness. Not sure how to connect this harness to the truck. I have requested the VIN# of the donor truck to see if there is a harness part# I can purchase.

 

Any ideas or advise?

Will the harnesses be the same for the same style seats from a 2019-2022 old style to a 2022 refresh?  

Example.  

My driver's seat is cloth, powered and heated.  My passenger seat is cloth, manual and heated.  If I get the same setup in leather, is the harness the same?

The leather is just a cover, so at worst you would just swap your seat covers over.

Wow,looks amazing,great job.

something to keep in mind. almost all the trucks with leather have memory. If your truck does not have a communication wire for that memory module the seat will not move. the leather swap on my 22 rst ltd it was plug in play but previously i had a 22 custom ltd and it didn't have the necessary wiring under the driver seat. I had to run 2 positive wires for the passenger seat. one for lumbar one for recline and frame movement.
