Addicted To Boost Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Will third gen GP seats fit in a first gen GP? Quote
Night Fury Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 My only qualm is this; how do the fronts of first gen seats mount? in third gens there are metal guide things that slide into slits in the body, and the back of the front seats bolt down from there Quote
White93z34 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Not without some extensive modifications to how the seats mount. Quote
Jonpro03 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Anythings possible. My friend and I got Dodge Neon seats in a Ford Ranger with some ingenuity and a welder. Quote
AL Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 They are not a direct bolt in if thats what your asking. Quote
jeremy Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 I am curious as to how difficult this is as well... I am almost certain that 3G seats are a direct bolt in to a 2G, but I have no idea what all is required to get them in a pre gen. Quote
AL Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 third gen seats do bolt into a second gen but not into a first... Custom brackets will have to be made... Rob 94GPGTP tried doing this, he ended up giving me the seats because it was too complicated getting them to fit Quote

Rob 94GPGTP tried doing this, he ended up giving me the seats because it was too complicated getting them to fit well, I know people have put 2G seats in a 1G (not really sure why) but I have seen it done so this shouldn't be too complicated....I really want new seats, hopefully from something complete outside of a w-body but I probably won't take on that task until next summer Quote
GOT2B GM Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 2nd and 3rd gen seat tracks are wider than 1st gen seat tracks. I tried this like 5 yrs ago with 97+ GS seats in my lumina. I ground the rivets off that hold the rear "hooks" onto the 2nd gen seat tracks, and made offset flatbar brackets to match up with the 1st gen bolt pattern. It did bolt in, BUT the seats really sit too high. I'm 5' 8" and I found it uncomfortable. Ended up doing GP AQ9s instead. Quote
digitaloutsider Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 They'll sit ENTIRELY too high and you'll hate it. Don't do it. Quote
jeremy Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 thanks for the feedback on the seat height Quote
