2000 GMT400 CREW CAB SFA SWAP-The Warden: Fuel leak fixed and awaiting surgery…
- Thread starter GWeakland620
- Start date
The ultimate goal for this truck is tow duty/family camping trips/small offroad adventures.
Fixed
Sitting right behind me lol
Btw, they do make a slip yoke Borg Warner. I have one of those too.
I learn new things every day.
I thought you had to buy a non-GM vehicle to get a BW with a slip yoke.
So today’s project was going to be pulling the front bench seat out, then pulling the carpet to inspect for more rust. After that I was going to swap in the buckets and center console, but as I drove into the driveway I had this feeling of regret for pulling the bench seat. I like the idea of both seat options, but I cannot figure out what route to go now.
Can I hear some opinions on either option?

Buckets.
After I posted that, I remembered that my bench is torn, and the buckets are not. So the buckets are nicer. Plus side, the plug for the electric seats is still there. So that’s a win/win.

Buckets give you more room for center console stuff, light switchs, cb, gauges, general storage, etc.
Torn<not torn.
Although bench seats are better for a generic haul truck. Buckets are better for handling or off-road truck.

Your woman can not sit next to you with buckets.
I guess for some, that would be a win.

Only downside is the center console Getting in the way of shifting the transfer case Lev..e..r.........waaiiit....scratch that..... nevermind......
I hate you.
Burn......
The center console doesn't get in the way of the shifter. 
I know this because I have one.

Damn I was gonna send you the link to the sub box I had in my 97 but it’s discontinued. JL made a stealth box that replaced the console. Was a full molded box with a 10” downfire in it.
Fit perfectly and was totally hidden. Plus you got two great cup holders up front a big one in the back. But now you can just keep your console I guess
