anyone here do this? i am looking to get an expedition console and looking to convert my bench to captains chairs.

(sure i could buy a set of captains chairs but not as easy/often to find in canada as cheap as the states so going this route)

i know there are how to's on a few sites and on here... and have read them all

i know i need to basically cut my center portion out, re sow them together, and get misc hardware pieces to replace the current bench ones...

but does anyone know the proper part numbers for the peices i need to make this happen on my 98?

 

I'd love to just take out my 60/40 bench and get a matching color leather captains chairs with center console.

 

lol... ye but not what i'm doing... need to cut

 

are you referring to the sliders on the bottom of the chairs? you being fairly vague in what parts your looking for. have you tried the junk yards in your area?

 

Check out my Expy console FAQ page in my signature. I have a whole write-up about converting from 60/40 to buckets.

 

how is that vague? i'm looking for all parts needed... and part numbers for those who have done it

have read it:
but those are not the proper parts... sao wondering what people have done / used...

its a common discussion i know that many have done, but no one truly discusses other then saying to look at that walk faq page or say bring to upolstry place

 

Not trying to steal the thread, but I am thinking about doing the same thing. I've read your write up and most of the links before blueflareside. Great info! My question is where can I find a good expy console for a good price?

 

scrap yards... ebay... tonnes of places.

 

Have you tried contacting the guy who wrote the part that I put on my site?
