  Jeff:
  
  I checked the '99 catalog and noticed the same thing: Apparently you need an LS to get the "fold down center storage armrest" (the LT doesn't fold down since it is an actual center console).
  
  I would bet that you could get the hinges and center fold down section for an LS and just bolt it in, as I seriously doubt that Chevy would have two completely different seat brackets for base and LS ... especially considering that base, LS and LT all use the same actual seats with different coverings.
  
  Whether or not it's worth it is up to you.

  Go to a dealer and look at the seats. They are totally different. The center on a base model is just a seat with a fixed back. The center on an LS has the hinged back, the center section opens up and has storage and more in it.
  
  You might have better luck trying to find a wreck to get the seats out of. But you need a special tool to get the seats loose. I haven't found the tool yet.

  I'm waiting to order a 2500 LT LB 4WD XCab until I can get a 4 door version. Anybody know anything realistic about when that might happen?? I got a "promise" of $500 over invoice for the truck but don't know how long I can hold out before the dealer gives up on me. Thanks, guys.

  I read in Carpoint today that the GM heavy duty versions of the Silverado 2500 and 3500 will debut in Los Angeles late this year, and will hit showrooms next summer as MY 2001.

  I bought my 99 ext cab w/5300 engine (Z-71) on July 2nd. I've got 2100 miles on it all ready, and have had it back to the dealer 5 times! The brakes continuously squeek. It doesn't matter what speed or what type of driving. It generally starts after 10 minutes of use. Has anyone else had a similar problem. I love the truck, but this is nuts. You can hear me coming from 3 blocks away! Tomorrow I take the truck in for the 6th time and they are going to replace all of the rear brake components. Well see what happens. In Nebraska, the lemon law applies after 4 trips for the same problem. I think I have that one beat...

  I heard about the 2.9% from my sales guy Doug.
  He called to give me an update on the build date
  and said they just found out yesterday (Apr 15th)about the new rate. He also said the expiry date was June 30th but they often extend it. BTW I ordered mine(1500LS Ext.,2wd Z85,4.8,auto,tow pkg etc) on Mar23rd and the sales guy called Apr 1 and gave me a build date of May 10. When he called yesterday he said it could be built even before that because they have had some show up on the lot on or before the build date.
  P.S. Anything in a name?
