    Bucket Seats in the back

    Hello.

    I have a 2001 GMC Sierra with a Escalade Clip on it. www.cardomain.com/id/wisesuperman

    This winter, I am planning on shaving everything (Door Handles, 3rd Brake Lights, Cadillac tail light conversion) and smoothing the whole back end (Weld the tail gate in and smooth everything back there). For the interior, I am a little more unsure what to do about it. I am going to get a custom fibergalss sub box holding 2 JL Audio W7 subs, and 3 JL Audio amps (2 500/1 and a 300/4). I am lookin at designs on how to do this, and I was wondering if there is anyway to cut the backseat into 2 little bucket seats. My idea is to make a fuberglass enclosure that runs from the dash to between teh back seats, then put the subs and amps in there. If you guys hvae any ideas, they would be greatly appreicated, as the paint and body fork is done in 4 weeks, and I would like to get going on the interior.

    Thanks, Britt Coulson

    Re: Bucket Seats in the back

    you could cut em, but why not try and gefront seats out of a similar truck? that way you have 4 matching seats?

    custom brackets would have to be made to match the boy lines, and of course a custom console would make it look awsome!

    Re: Bucket Seats in the back

    I was origionally thinking of more front buckets in the back, and i have a bench in the front, so i need to buy buckets for the front also, but arent the back seats shorter, or will the buckets fit rite in there, cause it is an Extended cab, not the crew cab.

    Thanks, Britt

    You could use Escalade front and rear buckets, and just build a custom console.

    Re: Bucket Seats in the back

    They should have built that as the SS, I think it looks better. And you know it is faster

    I've seen that concept before. That would have been sweet.

    Re: Bucket Seats in the back

    ill be redoing my rear floor coming this spring.... ive already removed my bench seat and just cut a piece of 3/4 MDF and bolted it across the stock seat bracket....
    but i cannt do a bucket seat yet tho.....
    but once i check around the junk yards for a small bucket seat that will help alot.... but i want a passenger bucket seat preferably with a arm rest..... and well im a preaty good size so its not gonna be my leg space sacrafice.LOL
    ive thought about just choping into the factory bench seat and shortening it drasticaly... but it would still just be a stactianary seat so id rather finda small bucket seat.
    but anyways since im gonna be doing a subwoofer box on the passenger side im gonna be doing a full weld in metal frame to level out the rear floor that way i have something realy strong to bolt the seat to and the seat belt and box of course.....

    need any OBS parts and some NBS parts PM me. im a junk yard whore and go all the time.
    tho please small parts for shipping
