Driver Seat Swap

[mellowmike]

The driver seat in my newly acquired 2003 Yukon XL is pretty thrashed. I know someone selling parts off a 2003. His driver seat is torn and worn - but the 2nd row left captains chair is nice. Will it fit as a driver's seat? I'm not at either vehicle today to measure. Even just the bottom would be great. Has anyone tried it? The cloth seat cover fix is not working for me.

Nope. They have a completely different bolt pattern on the floor mount.

What about front seats from a 2007 Denali...?

(i.e. will the 2007 Denali front seats fit into my 2003 Yukon?)

SOME GMT800 stuff is 'compatible' with SOME GMT900 stuff.
I want a GMT900 pickup truck front middle seat between my Tahoe's front seats, not a center console.

That said, if your GMT822's front seats have seat belts in them, and the GMT932 front seats don't,
then you'd better hope that your B-pillar has provisions to mount those seat belts.

Maybe you can get the 2nd row lower seat foam and cover to work on your driver seat, instead of trying to replace the whole seat.

Not to sound like a noob - but what are these particular GMT numbers you speak of...?

Same seller has 2001 Tahoe heated front seats too. Drivers side starting to tear - but still much better than what I have. Will these fit...?

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

Were folding armrests optional? Mine has them. The donor seats do not.

Unfortunately, not all GMT800 front seats had folding armrests.
