Swapping buckets for bench on 2nd row?

[MDC9966]

I'm wanting swap out the 2 captains chairs for a bench seat in my 07 tahoe. How difficult will that be? I put an ad in the wanted section but also thought I would ask here since you guys know everything. Does the bench just bolt down at the same mouting points as the bucket seats?

Also, my seats are heated, does the bench seat come with the heated option also. Just want to make sure I swap or buy the right ones and how much work it is to change them.

Thanks

I did the exact same swap and it went seamlessly ..... easy as loosening some bolts and disconnecting the heated coil. Make sure the bench you are getting is both power fold (if you have that option) and heated. With the bench seat you will obviously no longer use the carpet cover that sits under your existing setup so you'll ship t hat with your buckets. Good luck!

Thanks BigRed,

If the bench doesn't have power fold, can I still use it? Does it have a manual override?

What i mean is my buckets do not have power fold. If I find a bench with power fold, will it work and still be able to fold manually to have access to the rear seat?

Anybody wanna swap out a ebony black leather bench for buckets, ?

Still looking if anyone knows where I could find one. Mine is the LT style ebony leather interior with heated 2nd row.

If you're interested I would trade you for my bench. You probably don't want because mine is not leather, but it's a bench! I'm in Cali, so the shipping may cost a bit. I'm looking to get bucket seats (and actually leather on all of my seats. Thanks. If you're not interested, good luck with the hunt.
