yes, any seat from an 82-present f body will install in any other 82-present f body without any modifications. the only problem you may encounter is if you are switching from a split back rear seat to a 1 piece rear seat. then your only problem is either putting in or taking out a little bar that the split back rear installs on

the one EXACTLY like one between the seats on a 3rd gen?? if that was the case the console from a 4th gen wouldnt fit in a 3rd gen firebird. the seats are the same. like Diabolical said, any seat from a 82-02 f-body will install in ANY 82-02 f-body without any modifications.

He's almost like the guy at the junkyard that told me a 70s truck 350 wouldn't fit in my camaro because the truck motor was bigger. Gee. Wonder why he only worked there for about 2 weeks?

They go right in. In fact I believe the entire interior is about twelve bolts. It's pretty amazing how well they fit. I installed power leather seats from a 95 Z28 into my Camaro, but I started with T/A seats with the lumbar... Works great. The easiest way I found to wire them up is to run a splitter clamp (not sure of the technical name, but you place the wire inside of this clamp and than when yuo close it down it splices it with the third wire. Hence a perfect connection) from the cigarette lighter. For someone like me who does not smoke and WILL not tolerate it around or in my car I figured I would jsut completely cut it but splicing like above will work fine... Jsut don't try moving the seat and lighting the lighter all at the same time... Might be a bit much. If you have any questions feel free to email me. Would love to help you with your project.

PS That junk yard guy is just ignorant... An idea though would not to tell them that there is a market for those parts. Junk dealers like to raise the roof on the prices. (unfortunately )

Good luck,

James

hey i went to like 4 junk yards and evey single one of them said it would cost $500- 600 for al 4 seats. like 300-400 for cloth bt i want leather! I think i could get some pimp racing seats for that much. any one know where i can get some? No just plain leather but somethin really sporty so my interior looks like a racing machine!

Sure will. All interchangeable. I have heard some people having "rubbage" issues on camaro center consoles with power seats, but i havent had a problem. I am swtiching to the four gen console so .. even less problems
