Seat swap


Can anyone say from experience whether or not these seats will be plug and play with the existing brackets from my 2006 bench? If it requires modifications, I won't be interested at this time.

Thanks!

99% sure you drill the floor and bolt these down. I don't think you could attach them to your brackets.

I can't see that being a direct bolt in either, but I'm sure there are folks with actual experience that will chime in.

For those of us that aren't too handy....who would I take it to to have those seat mounted drilled and bolted to the floor? Would a body shop do something like that?

Yes, they do. I am swapping the seats from 2000 Chateau to my 2010. Different floor brackets, but bolt on the same 4 bolt each.

Great news! so i could even remove the last bench and put the 2 chairs there then? i don't want to lose 2 benches and i don't know how much room i would have for the chairs to recline in the 1st row.

As long as the four hole in the bracket are at the same distances, you should be able to bolt any of the brackets. You may run into clearance issues between the captain chair and the fender on the drive side in the fourth row.
