Jumpseat Question

Rosedog · February 5, 2008

I'm looking at a jumpseat (front middle seat that folds down) out of a 2004 Avalanche and I would like to know if it would fit in my 2003 Silverado Ext. Cab.

I've tried calling the dealer but they want vin numbers to answer that question.

Can you please help me out on this. Maybe with vin numbers if it comes down to it.

Thanks in advance.

Is your truck a CrewCab? I'm sure that is your only shot. I'd bet the seatback is very different considering how in the Avalanche you can remove the back wall... but that is really just a guess. You could always park next to an Avalanche, get a tape measure, and compare.

Let us know what you find out.

Cueva, hes got lots of experance with vin numbers and details. or your cound search vin details in the search tab.. go threw the pages see if u can find a vin for a alvala.

I thought he was talking about the center jumpseat in the front... ?

The avalanche jumpseat should look like this:

There is no difference in the jumpseat itself, rather the only thing would be that the color changes along with what it may be covered in (fabric wise). The mounting points are the same and so is the carriage (frame) of the jumpseat.

The only reason for VIN Numbers is to compare RPO codes (At least for us here on GM-Trucks.com) as I dont care about any other reason that GM may come up with.......the only thing that can vary is the 'bucket seats' that are equipped with the jumpseat. Hope this helps.

Big thanks to you!

no prob, that listing looks exactly like mine, except the different color....

Okay so I got my seat finally and I went to take out the bolts/nuts and I realize that they're some sort of star nut/bolt... What are they called and where can I find them?

jrrod2004 · February 16, 2008

same question that I had

jrrod2004 · February 16, 2008

Ha, I must have just missed this post when I read the post right before this one. Your reply was a life saver though, ran out to Pep Boys and got them there but the did not have the E20. I ended up using the 15mm on the front and I believe E10 or E16 on the rear insides (as I could get the outsides off with a 12mm).
