There isn't many wrecked tahoes here in SC. Guess I will continue to look. If anyone know's of any sites that would help it would be apprecitated.
If you really want to do this, here are two sites that I'd recommend.

This one will link you to wrecking yards all over the country: www.car-part.com. Just about anything can be shipped, including seats.

If you're able to buy an entire vehicle, take what you want and scrap the rest, here's an auction site: www.ridesafely.com. Right now they have listings for 11 2007-2010 Tahoes, starting at $6,000.

Removed the LS emblems, by looking at it you would never know it was a Less Stuff (LS) model. They have problems with the auto rear hatch so your better off with out it.
did u say that u changed the center console on the tahoe Ls model?

Also swapped out my cloth third row seats that sat 2 for the leather or vinyl seat for one that can seat 3. No modification involved. It looks factory. you might have what you need to install the 3rd row already but hooks are under the carpet. My father in law wanted the black cloth i had so i swapped it. But he didnt have heated seats from the factory but in your situation, it wouldnt matter if it did. You should be able to bolt up either the escalade or yukon seats to your tahoe but i believe it has to be from the same size vehicle, for example the tahoe should be able to fit seats from the yukon, or escalade but not the Yukon XL, Suburban, or Escalade ESV. You can also get a leather kit like from Katskins to re-cover your seats. You would remove your cloth covers and install leather covers and it looks like a factory install.
I need to find a bench in black cloth 😞
