2021 2nd Row Buckets for Bench Seat Swap

[BAMAUSAF]

Being a 2001, I am not sure if the floor bolt pattern would be just as easy, assuming it would be not entirely sure.

Sorry, it is a 2021 -- edited my post

Good stuff - I am about to purchase a 2021 Suburban Premier which has the upgraded captains with heat and power fold -- Jet Black. We want a bench but to get the options we desire, need to get the Premier or find a tricked out LT or Z71 Surburban - will be going other way than you (captain to bench) - but your pictures show it is very doable. Would love to find some instructions or video going opposite. Jet black bench seems to be available on Ebay - not sure I'd want to swap my captains for a non pwr folding bench, may just keep to reinstall if needed -- if anyone has any good pointers/instructions going from captains to bench, would appreciate -- tks

Bolt patterns would be the same then, just need to be exposed under the carpet. Yeah there is clearly a difference in pricing on bench vs captain chairs on Ebay, the bench seats go for far less. Kinda just goes to show you what most people want to use ? I would hold on to those chairs in case you swap back to them. The bench can be had for much cheaper if that's what your needs are for.

Bench swap for captains chairs went smooth, each chair (bolt pattern) are spaced at 13 inches apart. Once the bench 60/40 is out, you have to cut a small section of carpet to expose the factory threaded holes to secure driver side chair. We swapped the plastic housing/shrouds so that it matches as if it came factory install as well. With the carpet cut, you could use to cover the section that was exposed from bench seat on passenger side, or just do without. If properly designed floor mats are used, then it's all hidden anyway.

Any issues with the seat belt buckles?
