Check out NBS suburban second row seats. If my memory serves me correctly that's what I got the leather rear seats out of for my 07 classic crew cab and they were a direct bolt in no presidential modifications needed.

So with all this work sounds like your going to keep the truck now, are you going to park it in the same exact spot and not expect it to get stolen again?

Picked it up today. Paint matches perfect. They ended up painting both drivers doors, the roof and hood with minor body work to the drivers door for 700. It was a shitty shop with a home made booth, but they have a good painter!

It will.be parked in the same spot with a kill switch. My avalon is typically backed in front of it too but that night it wasnt. Until i wire a kill switch, my starter relay is sitting next to my keys. Shitty feeling i have now when before i wasnt afraid to leave my cars unlocked at night.

Kill switch won't do anything if they tow it away with a wrecker.

A wrecker would be a little more difficult and noisy compared to popping the door and rolling it away few yards then starting it and taking off.
Just wondered, didnt think you were that naive to not realize if it got spotted once it will most certainly get spotted again by the same kind of people..

Replaced the knock sensors last night. Feels like a totally different truck. Lately it felt like it was lazy as ****. Mat the gas and it struggled to launch...like a 4.8 in a 3/4 ton. Took it for a spin last night and now it will spin the 33" tires over once and pull to 100 like a 6.0 should. Its still slow, but a ton better and what i always expected from my tow pig

Now to fix the abs/brake light. Grounds didnt work.

I was going to crank the keys up 1-1.5" today and one of my key adjustment bolts is broken off. POS

Hey I actually work for a security company. We do motion activated cameras you can see from your phone. Just a thought to make you feel more comfortable parking your vehicles at your home.
