Hello all, I was wondering if this is possible: swapping out the rear seats in the quad cab 1500 for crew cab seats.

I understand the leg room will be shorten but will they clip right on?

thanks in advance

Hm, never measured. Are you sure there's a difference in the seats?

The crew cab seats bolt into quad cab trucks. As you've already suspected, the seat will take up a few more inches of leg room. There was a guy that put in crew cab rebel seats into a quad cab. I'm not entirely sure of his user name, but I believe the truck was silver and the seats were the red and black suede.

Awesome deangtp. Thanks for the feedback guys.

W, I would like to think that the crew cab would incorporate different seats in addition to the leg room(longer cab) I find it very uncomfortable in the back due to the seats. Not so much the leg room

Looks factory. I was wondering how tight it would be. Do you have your front seats pretty far forward in those pics?

Wow, that fits better than I thought it would.....so after all this time I was ignoring crew cab seats, they might actually not fit badly?

Were you able to get measurements of leg room before and after the install? I just worry Ill lose a lot of legroom because of the "deeper" seat bottom.

Well after reading this, I am going to buy the crew cab rear seat and try it out on my quad cab. I have the ugly rear bench seat.

I did this also,used quad brackets.I took it out after 6 months,problem is the back of the seat is too straight.Very uncomfortable to sit back there.Headrests have to go also if you want someone to sit there as they tilt towards front of truck.My advice is don't do it.I put a leather split seat in from a 2012 laramie quad.perfect
