Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!

Nice seats. What year of truck did they come from and what color are they? I need to get some for my 'burb. Do you know if they make a 3rd row that would match?

I thought about doing that but I got a good deal on these so I went ahead and got them.

Identical and I would like to thank you & Kevin for the "how to install info" in your CrewCab thread! Should I send you some $$$$???!!!! Maybe I can even talk ROKCRWLN into making me some of those "patented" brackets,.

1999 or newer. You'll probably want to get the complete set of seats out of a Tahoe or Suburban.

Nope that is now going to be the wife's truck! I would start with a burb but then it may also end up being a 4dr tahoe if I start that way.

More than likely. It will just depend on what color combo I go with. I still haven't decided that yet. The ony thing I know for sure is I want the top white.

Re: Building the Beast, aka Donkey!

Looking good, I am glad you are going to swap to the burb doors it will look more factory then. How did the rear seat mount go for you or have you built them yet?
