Installing/Changing out seats
Hopefully not in the wrong area.
Has anyone here installed seats from another car? Someone that has an olds with the color seats i was looking for. I just wonder if they will bolt right in or not.

with changing bracket, you can make a seat fit in just about anything. but has anybody swapped C and H body seats first hand?

I'm almost certain that they will swap just fine. The C and H bodies are very similar. Take the LeSabre and Park Avenue. The interiors are almost identical. Maybe more rear leg room.
But I haven't actually DONE it, no...

Legroom (front) isn't a difference from H to C. All the differences are from the back seat to the rear. I would expect C body seats to bolt up to H body rails.
Run both seat rails through GMPD to be sure.

I stand corrected! I knew they were longer, but wasn't certain where that length went.
All trunk space, apparently. Well, that bodes well for the interior swapping over then.

OMG what a nightmare. gmpd catelog is down for upgrade, says to call local dealer. one couldnt even find a seat bracket, mount, rail, track(nomatter what i called it) . didnt even know what i was talking about. he said " that muss be part of the body. not available". so i call another dealer. guy was a total D*ck. gave me part number for my 92 olds only bc i had the vin. he would not give me any part numbers for an h body bonneville unless i had the vin #.
