Installed an Escalade rear bench seat. Video and plans included

[K30Blazer]

I wanted to keep my kids safer than the factory bench provided for. Built some brackets and searched craigslist for months to find the seat, but stoked on how it came out.

Very nice. Thank the kids for not giving me a headache this time!

@K30Blazer I really like the bench install, do you recall the year / year range of the Escalade you found?

2000 to 2006 is the range of Tahoe, Escalade,Yukon third row. Add the Silverado front to the list for the front seats.

Those Silverado seats have built in belts?

Yes. At least the extended cabs did for sure. I don't remember if our tahoe did but nun SS def did.

The front seats are the same in all models 2003-2006 and have the belts as part of the seats.

Thanks @K30Blazer for the idea, I have been wanting to do something for a back seat for awhile and will be taking on this project in the future.

Thanks for the idea and plans! Picked up a 3rd row rear seat today.

 

[nvrenuf]

I grabbed me one today too!

These in black would be perfect

Agreed, those are sweet with the cup holder. The only set i found like that was black and $750.

It's still early in the game but finding a matching set (light gray, leather) of front buckets in good shape is proving harder than I thought.

Sorry, I know it’s been a while, do you remember what vehicle those were out of? I like the center console thing-a-ma-bob.

Those are from the 2007-2014 Tahoe/Suburban and i think the Escalade as well

Fwiw, the seats pictured in this thread with cup holders in the center are from Escalades only.

I just got a set from a 2013 Yukon. I took a lot of searching, but as @Talon762 stated, they were optional in 2007-2014 Tahoe’s, Yukons, and Escalades.
