Will 4th gen seats fit in a third gen car i.e. an 86 T/A. I mean will they bolt right in or am I in for a lot of work? Has anyone done this before?

Forget it they will not fit.
Sorry having some fun with you they fit right in without any problems. This question is asked twice a week on here.

never have I seen your god so why should I believe in faith?

 

Just finished putting some in my car. They are a direct bolt in. I got to say that I like mine very much.

Fit like they were made for it. I did a little write up on IROC Online (link below)

heheehehhe. Your lucky you dont get banned for asking that question

 

You can also search the junkyards for seats from any mid-size GM vehicle... while the other car's seat -rails- won't bolt into your f-body, the seat itself should be able to bolt onto -your- old seat rails.

That means you wouldn't be using the forward/back adjuster from the parts car, you'd be re-using yours.

I found my original pattern seats, in brand new condition, in a Pontiac 6000 Station Wagon SE. I guess the SE is what put my style of seat in there?

All I had to do was switch my rails onto the 6000's seats, and put my forward-tilt mechanism from my seats onto the 6000's. (The 6000 was a four door and didn't need it's seats to tilt forward).

I got the seats for $10 each- I think that had to do with me telling the guy "I think they'll fit but I'm not sure." He told me to give him $10 each, and if they didn't fit, I didn't have to bring 'em back.
