2004 to 1990 Bucket Seats

**CadillacMest96** · 10-04-2005, 08:23 PM

Does anyone know anything of putting a set of power bucket seats from a 2004 silverado into a 1990 silverado. I realize I do not need seat belts, and I am not concerened of the wiring, but has anyone done this? Do they fit decent? Are the too tall ot too short? Let me know if anyone has any info on this. I have a set of 2004 Dark Charcoal Cloth Buckets. I also Have a 1998 Light Gray Silverado Bench seat with attached center counsole that flips up or down that I will consider selling. Please Help.

the size should be OK,see if you can bolt the tracks of your OBS seats on the new ones.

nope, i had a bench in there stock, they seem to be good size, but i have to cut the floor up and flatten it out and weld studs to my floor. it will be worth it though.

Same problem I have. I picked up a set of buckets from an '01 for my '88 Silverado. The tunnel has to be flattened out a bit on both sides before I can put them in.

Can't wait to see the pics, I just got a set of 99's for my 88 silverado ext. and sure could use some tips.

I'm putting some 99's in my 88... whew pita, are you guys pounding the tunnel flat or cuting and welding? I sure could use some tips here.

pounding/cutting...?

are you talking about the transmission hump? why is it a problem? are the newer seats taller than the older seats? my old one rested on the trans hump and had two 6" brackets on each end...I solved my problem by putting Jeep Cherokee seats in my 88, but I have been contemplating a 2000+ swap when I find $500 to drop on a new seat.

Thanks for the clarification
