I was wondering if it is possible to easily swap out a different year seat in my 76? I like the 80's on for their style and comfort. I am willing to do what is nessesary to make the fit (within reason of course).I plan to go on the Hot Rod Power tour again next year and would like a more comfortable seat.

I have a set from an 86 which would need to be recovered.  Left side has electric but I have no idea if it works.  Come and get them and they are yours.

Are thse seat out of the 86 still avaiable? My 78 has a set of 79 seats in it but with a bad back they are not a very comfortable seat. I would like to upgrade but want to stay with a Corvette seat. If Phil doesn't want them I would love to pay for shipping.

Hey Silverbullet. Go ahead and take them. I have a old hawaian disease right now called Lakamoney. It prevents me from doing certain things I used to do. It hopefully will go away soon so I may regain the use of my wrenches. My condition can be fixed by the Hawaian cure of OhIgotahitthelotto.

OK silverbullett they are yours.  Before I get the shipping estimate, please send me your email address so I can send you a picture of them.  They are way less than beautiful and will have to be recovered at a minimum.  I do not know it the left electric seat motor is working.  Once you see them if you still want them I will get the shipping estimate.

I had the idea of changing the seats in my 72, after looking at all the after market seats I couldn't find a set that had the right demensions, in all the cases the seat back was to high for my taste, I looked at an early C-4 the demensions were almost the exact same, the nice part is that you sit in the C-4 seat not on top like the C-3 seat, another plus is that the cushons come out of the frames which will make them easy to mount in the stock location. Anyone else have a set of early C-4 seats they want to get rid of 84-93anips38601.8715277778

Hey anips, Look on ebay motors,parts #7998158975 and # 7997935959 They are seats in various forms of intactness. Also search ebay for 84 on seats. There are covers,seats,foam and parts for good to typically high prices.

Thanks Phil,

 I hope that disease is more like a short term virus. Thanks for the opportunity.
