Default Rear seat conversion on my 05 Silverado crew cab

Ok I have an 05 silverado crew cab so that means I have a bench seat in the rear but I would like to replace it with a couple of bench seats from an escalade, tahoe, yukon, or suburban... I've seen the bench seats that those suvs have and the seat and brackets look exactly like the one on my truck so I suppose the bucket seats will fit. what I'm wondering is if anyone has ever tried this or knows wether it works.

my rear seat looks like this

a tahoe bench seat looks like this

and the bench seats look like this

if this is possible without any extreme mods I want a small center console from a 99-02 between the rear seats

we put the buckets and console in a friends of mines crew cab last year. you will need the seats from a tahoe or yukon, the suburbans and yukon xl's have a different bottom seat frame.
