corvette seats

[ELEGALCHEV]

a friend was wondering if he can put the 2002 corvette seats in his silverado. also would like to know the price for each seat, and part number. thanx

I'd guess buying them over the counter would be some BIG $$.
There are aftermarket seats that look just like the OEM ones. I think they sell some through Mid America Corvette (http://www.madvet.com/) as well as others.

You can put any seat in any vehicle. All it takes is the right brackets. Vette seats won't be a bolt-in deal. He'll have to have brackets made.

if I remember correctly, vette seats are kinda funky in their mounting...like one track is longer than the other or something like that..maybe it was one was higher and one was lower...I don't remember..either way..it wont be easy or cheap.

I know that 94-96 vette seats are going for $600-$800 a pair on eBay!! :eek:

Also I believe Steel Horse makes a C5 look-a-like seat. I think Desert Runner has them. :D

I was considering buying those. If I can't get my Ventura seats to work, I still might get them.

I have sat in them before and if i remember right they are a little firm compared to my stock seats. But the side bolsters sure do hold you in the seat on the corners. I beleive that they are about the same size as my stock buckets too....maybe about 3" shorter but that difference could be made with the brackets id imagine.

For the 83 all it required was getting some 2x4s and duct-tapping each end to the bottom of the seats. Then set them in and just pour contact cement all over the place. Fairly easy. :D

ummm, yeah...that's the way I'D do it:crazy: :bull: :bull: :D
