I have the opportunity to buy 2 black (dark charcoal or dark grey) leather power buckets out of a new 07 Suburban. I have a NBS GMC truck. Does anybody know if they will bolt in? I'm tempted to buy them just to see. They sure would be cool in my new truck.

 

Any help out there? Anybody tried this yet?

 

Oh, and WINGNUT... stop going to WalMart.

Looked at using a Suburban take-out seat in my old truck (97 C1500). Big problem was the seat back didn't flip forward thus would not be able to access behind the seat. Just something to consider.

I'll send an email to my brother, he works at Lear, which makes the seats for the NBS trucks.

Here's what he said:

 

As long as they are the same year as the new vehicle you are looking at, then I would say yes. All front seats are the same but I put out a word of caution as Suburban could have a feature called Amerigon (cooler in the seat) to go with the heat function. We don't make this style of seat until the '09 MY. Your vehicle, if built in Oshawa, may not have the wiring to make this happen.

If you do this, let us know if it works. I'd be really interested to do this on mine too.

Thanks for all of the input. I am going to dive in and try it. I'll update this thread when I have an answer. Wiring is not an issue for me. We've built ground up race cars for years... a little power shouldn't be a biggie.

After a considerable amount of digging, I found that NBS trucks and Sub/Tahoes share a LOT of parts. GM is crafty though... Even some of the parts that would interchange have different part numbers. Some other items just have minor trim differnces but will work. Front door shells, and floor pans have almost exact shapes. Firewall, underhood stuff... a lot of it is identical. Somebody with a NBS CHevy should slap a NBS Tahoe frontend on for kicks. Shouldn't cost more than 49 million dollars.

Thanks for taking the risk for everyone else!

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
