Id like a console too. Something out of a van? Blazer? I'm not putting a bench seat back in mine.

I found a pair of bucket seats from a 2002 GMC regular cab that I got pretty reasonable because they had several cigarette burns in each one, (found them on EBay). They have the seat belts built-in and just required some hole drilling in the floor to mount them. I did put some 1/4" plate under the floor board for each bolt to provide better support. I wasn't too concerned about the cigarette burns because I am going to re-upholster anyway. You might check your local salvage yards, Craig's List, and EBay. I'm going to fabricate a console that goes from the back wall of the cab to the firewall.

I picked up a couple 3rd row leather bucket seats from a 2006 Tahoe and they rough fit just fine, even with the gas tank still in the cab. Any 2000 forward Tahoe or Suburban 3rd row bench or bucket seats will work. They also have the seat belt built in so that solves the belt problem. I'd include pics but the interior is nake right now as I'm in process of restoration...
