One more to go on the bucket list...  Must be a super special RPO, my 1985 literature doesn't mention that as an option.  That fabric and seat bottom appears to be 80's

I'd love to find someone doing a detailed thread on power bucket seats with a center console. That would be so cool. Like Zieg, it's on my bucket list!

What are you specifically looking for? The wiring aspect of it? If it's fitting seats you can either make brackets or buy them. The bolt in donor's are rare and were a dealer add on. I believe JC Whitney once upon a time offered a kit as well.

Too bad they don't have archives so we could look at all the crap they used to sell.

Check salvage yards for suburbans that were customized, early 80s would be a good start. The reason I suggest this is that I saw one at pull a apart in Nashville about 2 months ago.

That splains it, I've read over a whole bunch of 73-87 literature and sure don't remember reading about them, of course I didn't know about the extended cab's either...
