GREAT idea. I had been thinking mold some gray kydex into a cover, but the printing idea would be slick. :gr_grin:- swilson143

Heated & Cooled power leather seats
The 30-year-old GM seat belts in my Suburban we're very very tired! Since my F-150 seats already had the buckle integrated into them I decided to install the rest of the F-150 seat belt. I removed my GM seatbelt and cut the foot off the bottom of the assembly. I then bolted the F-150...- swilson143

Heated & Cooled power leather seats
The next weekend I tackled the wiring for the heated and cooled features. These seats don't use traditional seat heaters. They use a thermal electric device (TED) and a blower motor. The TEDs are capable of heating and cooling. They heat or cool the air that the blowers pass across them. There...- swilson143

Square body suburbans have a very high floor beneath the seat. You'll need to keep your seat mounts as low as possible. The F-150 seats have very tall feet on them. I cut them off as low as I could. Then I welded crossbars between the seat rails. I made two other crossbars that mimic the...- swilson143

Heated & Cooled power leather seats
I know this is blasphemy, Ford seats in a GM! But this project was more about my bad back than keeping my truck all GM. This project also was not cheap, but if you have a back like mine you understand the value of having the right seat. I recently bought my 91 GMC Suburban. The PO had...- swilson143

1991 5.3L 2500 Burb
I'll be watching this thread. I've got a 1991 V2500 5.7L 4L80E that I'm starting a 6.0L swap on next week. Bad news is I'm in CA, so I have to get refereed. Nice job on the wiring! So tidy! I didn't understand the end result on the above post... you're keeping the LS pressure sender? Will...- swilson143
