'08 crew cab rear seat conversion
I would like to convert my 60/40 rear bench seat to 2 individual seats without a console leaving the space between them open. Any ideas or suggestions on which particular seat would be compatible and if so where to find them?

Yeah i did consider modifying the original seat. The only problem with that is finding a shop within reasonable distance. I wanted to make some extra room for an audio project I'm geting started on, but without sacrificing my entire back seat area to do it.

Thanks though. I am definitely open to suggestions because I would surely like to keep the factory look of the seats. I just didnt know if there was a similar style replacement that would work or if a cut-down of the original was my best bet.

I wanted to have 4 buckets in my extended cab but there wasn't room. I ended up modifying the seat. Just cut out the frame, had a buddy weld in some new supports, trimmed the foam, and dropped it off at an auto upholstery shop. It's a little claustrophobic back there, but loud as hell!

I actually just finished stripping it down and cutting the frame myself. Gonna have it welded up tomorrow. Looks like its gonna turn out very nice. got a ballpark figure what think I'll b lookin at on the upholstry end? Gonna end up doing front seat as well, but for now i just gotta finish everything in the back.

Tahoe/Escalade 2nd-row buckets swap right in. There is a guy on here who did the swap in his crew not long ago; you should be able to find the thread with a quick search.
