Default Captains chairs in a 99 possible?

I removed my center front seat to provide more leg room for kids in back middle.

I now have no arm rest. I'd like to swap in some capatins seats to add back an arm rest.

Any good donor trucks with capatins seats that fit with some modification (cut weld ok).

Thanks

I am quite fond of the seats that are in the 99-06 Chevy Silverados and Suburbans. They have belts in the seat backs (like our Dodge Quad Cab trucks), have arm rests, and are really comfortable.

Yea. The newer chevy suburbans have a good seat with armrests built into them. If you have a salvage yard near you they should be able to answer this question more completely. I know there are more seats out there, but I don't know what you'll find them in.

My old '90 F150 Lariate extend cab had awesome captains chairs, I bet those could have been made to fit. Too bad I sold it to buy this truck.

Anyways, my current thoughts are find some Lariate seats, or put the center console back, with some Sliders so it is my arm rest again, but moves foreward for the kids feet. (car seats push them so far foreward). I'll update when I figure out what Im doing.
