Captain or Bench?

what would be involved in switching two captain bucket chairs in a 97 c/k ext cab for a full bench, because my driver side seat currently has major damage on the bottom rails of the seat for the electronic motor that moves it and im thinking of just going to bench seating because im pretty heavy and growing up the bench seats always had more strength.
what conversions would be neccesary?

also any information on what is better for damage repair on the body please post.

i dont know about what you would need for conversion but id gladly take those buckets off your hands...as long as the console came with it!!! :grinno:
