- I replaced the Mark 3 seats with new bucket seats from a 2008 Chevy Cobalt SS and the console with one from a 2019 Chevy Tahoe.

That looks awesome, nice match on the colors, I like the two tone on the doors, thank you for sharing!!!.
Your very welcome Rev H and thanks. I did so much before I decided to film. Wish I had thought about a TH-cam channel before.
I absolutely love your interior.....the wood trim in the truck looks fantastic 👌.....the seat and console is a beautiful touch
Thank you Peter. I had to sand and redo the stain on all of the wood but maybe t was worth it to keep some of the truck interior to keep the Mark 3 look. That was my dilemma with replacing the center console and losing the factory look, but in the end, the new console is much more functional and I like the look.
@@poppagsworld7294 Best interior 👌 I've seen on the internet this far...You brought out the magic 🎩 in what the interior should look like..
Hi, I'm in Germany and my 93 Truck also have allot of wood work in it... She was built in Fort Wayne, Indiana... I'm not sure, but I believe GM sent in those days a certain amount to a private company to do all of that....
Love your steering wheel! And seats look great 👍
Oh that’s amazing Leon, You are right, GM sent some trucks to several different after market companies to have them do some custom work. Mine went to a company called Mark lll.
Your interior looks very nice.
Thanks Man and thanks for watching
@@poppagsworld7294 you are very welcome.
I had a 93 ECSB, biggest mistake selling it. Love your truck and videos!!
I love mine too Danny. Mostly because is was my fathers.
@@poppagsworld7294 respect!!
Scott, you got it lookin pretty darn good. When you gonna soup up the motor, can't wait for that episode.
Thanks cuz. The plan is a LS swap. When is the question.
Looks good old man 👍🏼
Those look really good in there.
Thanks James, I love them
nice upgrade to those OEM seats😎
Thanks Daniel, I’m really enjoying them.
Nice , I have the same color truck as you . These trucks are getting alot harder to come by these days. Good work
Oh that’s awesome brother. I love the color. Thought long and hard about the color and trying to paint it myself and it was a lot of work, but I’m so glad I decided to do it. This Particular truck was my father‘s and he bought it new so I knew I was going to keep it in the family.
good video. helpful for upgrading seats. I figured more than chevy truck seats would fit since GM likes to us parts across different brands and platforms. good job, thanks. as long as they sit high enough.
goood looking seats
Thanks man. I love them. I drive the truck almost daily and I love the position. I’m 6 ft tall and my line of sight is right in the middle of the windshield.
Poppa G..idid some research on some woodgrain pieces comparison at this one wood craft store over by where I stay..and came out to be "Mahogany Wood " there's 4 Types of Mahogany Wood..there's the Original #1 Genuine Mahogany, yours are the African Mahogany kind & etc.....the Genuine mahogany is a rare piece,.that are kind of hard to find ....Just a heads-up !..I almost forgot to Thank you for responding back brother 🙏 thank you Poppa G..keep up the good work
Oh wow, I never would have guessed African mahogany. That’s interesting. Seems an expensive choice but I’m sure they use it for a reason. I’ll look in my garage at the kind of stain and clear I put on it tomorrow.
Thanks pops great mod very nice appreciate a great video with knowledge not stupidity and cussing thanks
Thanks Jack, I might drop few cuss words but I’ll beep them out. Lol
Great job thanks for video
Thank you so much. I love the seats. I’ll have a video coming soon replacing the carpet. So look for that. Thank you for watching.
Thats legit 💯 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Mr Knox. I love it. Thanks for watching.
That turned out nice
Thanks brother. I love them still.
Looks bad ass👌🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Martino. I love it and it’s very comfortable on long trips.
That thang clean. Recaro seats man.
Thank you sir. I love my truck for sure. Thank you for watching
Nice seats

Well done that looks like a much nicer place to be. What’s the going rate on the console and the seats? Looking to do something similar in my OBS ford and have noticed that seats from sedans tend to be cheaper than late model trucks
I found that center console from a company in Asheville,NC that takes new cars and converts them into police cars. They were going out of business so I got it for $50. If you look them up on eBay, they go for $400-$450.
The seats were tricky because I wanted leather but most leather seats have full power and I didn’t want power seats.
But I found those from a guy here in town and he had them in a old Camaro but just bought new seats for it. So I got the seats for $100. But Most seats will run around $400 a pair.
Look amazing
Thanks Ramiro.
Clean interior, I like it with those seats in there.

Thanks FMG.
Looks awesome!! 👍
Thanks James. I love it
You the man
Not me, but I know him. Haha
Good video 👍
Thanks man. I’m gonna do the carpet soon.
Very nice
Thanks William
I found some seats out of an 06 cobalt that are nice. Did you cut the factory clip brackets off of the seat bases on the cobalt seats?
Sorry I don’t know. I bought the seats from a guy that already had them in a 69 Camaro, so I don’t know what mods he had made.
Looks great, my friend! Great job on the carpet -- which products were used? if you don't mind me asking.
I think it was called Blue Max Carpet cleaner. It’s a blue spray can.
@@poppagsworld7294 awesome! thank you
What type of wood are these woodgrain pieces made out of..What do you think..would it be maplewood ,oak oakwood pinewood, burlwood etc..im having a hard time figuring it out
I think it’s Oak on the doors and dash. But something different on the ceiling light. Maybe look at Facebook group for these trucks.

Very cool. I wanna swap bucket seats into my '92 regular cab. Would be awesome to find those Cobalts. Do the pre drilled holes have thread?
Yes, I used the same holes drilled from the factory seats.
@@poppagsworld7294 right on, thanks.
Thank you for watching
Beautiful change PoppaG, how you call the paint of your truck??? I have a 1993 Cheyenne and my wife toll me to paint in the same color like your... Sorry.
Thank you very much Robhymiaml. The color code is PRV or Velvet Red Pearl. I used PPG shop line plus paint brand. With there dark sealer undercoat to make it the darker shade. The clear coat is also by PPG.
I guess I’m not sure how the jump seat screws went in to be secured…they looked to be horizontal while the mounts on the floor were flat…did I miss something??
Sorry that’s not on camera. There’s a 1” square tubing frame in the shape of a H that I bolted to the tunnel and it has nutserts that fastener to the center console/ jump seat. You can buy the fittings at obsoutpost.com/
What kind of speaker boxes do you have in rear seat Poppa G I need to do same thing
I bought those on Amazon. They are called “Stinger Select SS69PUG 6X9 Truck Speaker Enclosure,Gray”.
I like them but I’m going to upgrade to a box with individual tweeters, sub and woofers for a better sound.
I have Mark 3 also. And wanting to upgrade the seats. My dilemma was I didn't want to get rid of my highback seats. The seats you installed seemed to be highbacks as well. And I like it!! 👍😊 I just might be doing the same thing, since most shops want to over charge you, and keep your ride for at least 3 months! No diss to shops in general..
Yes I understand wanting to keep a high back. These sit low and hug ya so much better than the factory mark 3’s. I am very happy with them.
@@poppagsworld7294
I want to check them out, I do like them..
@@nonameisthename138 I see you follow SprayAwayCustoms, I learned to do body work and paint from watching him.
@@poppagsworld7294
Yes!! That's a bad mane!! 😯 I love his work
@poppagsworld7294 how much lower are these seats from stock seats? Looks nice
Hello sir I have a truck it's a 1991 it's a c1500 and I need some bucket seats?
How did you do all the wood trim
The wood trim came from the Mark lll factory when the truck was new in 1993. I had to strip the finish and re do it.
SO, yOu didn't have any height problems with the new seats?? They still were tall enough without any brackets for height
ezeduke, I like the way they sit. My eye height is about the middle of the windshield. I have no problem with vision even with my 4” cowl hood. Plus it makes you feel like the truck is lower to the ground and with the center console up a little higher it reminds me of my old race car driven days. Having said that, when my daughter drives it, I have a couple of knee cushions from Home Depot to build her up a few inches.
Are those Mark III seats available? I'll take them if your looking to get rid of them.
Yes I have the seats, center console and the framework. If you are interested. Did you watch the video before this one? It shows the seats.
How's the center console look with it flipped up?
It’s cool. It makes a seat and there is another compartment in the bottom for storage
I have a 1990 3/4 k2500, can I put buckets and console in to replace the bench seat?
Sure you can Kernie. Be aware that the passenger side is narrower. As long as a seat will fit that side, it will work on the drivers side. Then measure what you have left between the two seats and find you a console that fits. MIne is tight but I like the tight race car feel. Am I’m a Big dude.
@@poppagsworld7294 I have another question that maybe you can help me with. Rims and tires, standard for the truck is 245 75r 16. How big can I go with no lifting and still have no rubbing? Can I move to 17 or 18. I have the 2500 4x4 HD, 8hole 6. 5 .
@@MrCanoeman I am still rocking the factory rims that I painted, so I can’t help with that one. I do plan an upgrade and have asked around, I’m gonna go with 18’s.
Where can I find those seats like u took out? Want to use them as rear seats on my crew cab.
You can find them in my garage. Haha I’ll take 100
@@poppagsworld7294 hi if still available I’ll buy them for the 100
@@johnnie.villa2345 Are you local to North Carolina? So you can come get them.
@@poppagsworld7294 sorry not local but can figure out how to do it by ups or fed ex
I’m sorry johnnie. I actually though the seers and frame railing in a dumpster a few days ago. Was hoping the guy hadn’t picked it up to take it to the landfill yet, but it’s gone. I hate that.
you think this will work for a 98 ext cab front seats
Sure, you just have to do some custom fitting. Mine sit very low but perfect for me. I made a booster pad for my daughter or anyone shorter
Do those sit a lot lower than the factory seat?
Yes a few inches lower. I love them. It puts my line of sight in the middle of the windshield. I’m 6’0 tall. I do have a cushion to slide in for my daughter when she drives it.
I have some of those seats and was worried they would sit to low.
I might give that a try since it's free.
Thanks!@@poppagsworld7294
Would those saet fit in my 93 yukon
I don’t see why not. They do sit low, but I like it that way.
Do you still have the old seats and console? I’d buy them.
Yes I do.
@@poppagsworld7294 sorry for the late reply. I actually have 2015 Silverado seats in my 94 but the previous owner installed them on the factory 94 brackets. I’m sitting extremely high so that’s why I was going to get factory seats. Instead I think I’m going to purchase low profile brackets or just mount directly to the floor like you did. The 2014+ seats are high so doing that I should be at the correct height.
@@irishuwould5185 I don’t blame you at all. I used some 1/2” spacers to get the track off the floor so it can slide better. But I love the low stance. Makes me feel like the truck is super low.
@@poppagsworld7294 I like what you did, looks great
U got some for sale
I have the old ones.
Hahahaha. Is this satire?
Haha Laurie, no it’s not but I’m trippin that you think it is. :)
@@poppagsworld7294 then why are there no appropriate floor mounts to bring the seats up to where you can see over the dash?
@@laurieleblanc7588 I love the height of them and I see great. Makes me feel like I’m back in my race car. I have a booster for anyone under 6ft.
