Seat Cushions

[BBurk]

Are driver side and passenger side seat cushions interchangable? As my driver side cushion is starting to break down I am hoping I can exchange the seldom used passenger cushion with it. Note: the seats are the standard, non-16 way seats

Thanks

I must have missed your post...until now.

The answer is yes.

The answer is yes with some qualifications.

These statements only refer to the regular seats and not the 16 way. They have their own set of peculiarities.

You can put a passenger seat on the drivers side but the handle for tilting the back portion will then be between the console and the seat. There is enough room there to still operate the handle.

The seat bottom frames are the same but the back rest frames are different. On one side you have a stamped steel hinge and the other side of the seat has a tubular post with one bolt through it for the hinge mechanism.

The leather covers are also different and have different part numbers. You cannot put passenger side covers on drives side frames.
