Default What did Regency do to their seats???

Ok so my '04 silvy was slated to be a RST truck but since they didn't get enough orders in '04, mine was left over and sold at a dealer in blanchard, OK. Long story short, my truck is a BASE model truck and came with the work truck seats. This is how regency ordered the 4.8L 5-speed trucks. So someone please tell me what regency did when they got the trucks new from GM and converted the seats.


So for the record, new silvy's and sierras were delivered to regency all with these seats:


Then somehow they maraciously convert the seats to these:



What does Rengecy change other than the seat covers? How do they make the work truck seat center grow arm rests? I've heard the regency seats are more comfortable, do they replace the foam? Is anyone really clear on what happens at Regency? If so, please enlighten me. I am on a quest to obtain more comfort and arm rests

They also used a couple different center consoles, one looks like carbon fiber.

That's my truck.... they're not RST seats, those are out of a crew cab regency conversion truck (I have the back seat in my basement as a couch). Regency has done thousands of conversions, vans, trucks, tow vehicles, they all have different options.

Your best bet is keep an eye out for a wrecked truck (that's where I got all my crap) or just get katzkins. As far as that center seat from an RST, good luck.... I've wanted one from the minute I saw one, just haven't seen them available.
