Center Console

Hi there, has anyone successfully converted over a captain chair setup with console to a 40/20/40 split? Currently we have the captains but would really like to have the center seat to enable 6 seats if possible. Thanks

I'm not sure if you've made any advances on this project yet, but I would like to do the exact opposite. I have the 40/20/40 front seats and would prefer the captain/center console seats. If you decide to move forward with the idea, let me know and maybe we can work something out.

Just have to bolt it in.

Will have to remove armrest from captain seats.
Need to take out all the seats, the console bolts on first, then the seats go over it.

Don't forget the seat belt!

But there are big bolts (welded on sticking out after main bolt removed) on the armrests that get in the way of the console for bringing it up and down? It looks like we have to drill new holes as well?
Thanks

Darn. My previous vehicle was a V10 Excursion. I'm really missing the leather captain's chairs.

Good luck with the conversion!
