Went to the junkyard the last 2 days. Didnt do too bad *pics*
Got basically a complete set of trunk plastics, some fan switches, door lock switches, interior screws, door pulls, alternator bracket, and a cluster set for my pickup
Spent $114 the last 2 days there







Also. Found a good upper seat and a good lower seat in separate cars. I was wondering if I could put the padded parts only on my drivers frame

Nice finds.
Are the upper and lower pieces from driver's seats?

No passenger seats. I didnt know if I could get away with using only the padded parts and then just use all the driver frame and hardware

pretty good find, here is a link about seat covers and such.

Also the head rest doesn't just pull out when you have the cover off there is a metal tab that has to be turned.

Theres one more car with the same bracket, NiteRider, if I can manage to get it off. The one bolt's head is stripped though.

Apparently its a somehwat simple swap. All I need to do is get the driver frame and upper foam, the passenger cover, and a passenger bottom and I should be good to go

If you switch the foams, your seatbelt guide will be on the wrong side, and what about the tilt forward lever? Wrong side again. Slider mechanism? It may attach to the frame, not the cushion itself, so you may be good there.

So I can take both covers off easily and except for a few holes I may need to sew up or cut open, the covers themselves should fit a drivers frame and foam?

Also not really "easy" the hog rings are kind of a pain to work with. I just took my donor seat and my old seat to an upholstery shop and they did it all for $130.

You don't need to cut through them just take some pliers or channel locks and bend them to open
