Should I host my pictures from my camaro seat swap install and make a how-to sticky? I know I like mine alot and I get a decent amount of requests from people for help, and I've got a fairly detailed set of instructions

I could e-mail it to somebody if they want to hose them, or I could throw them onto photobucket?

 

[Kmaroman]

yes plz and thanks

Here's the Images, pretty self explanatory, I made this about 6 and 1/2 years ago

As you can see they fit with the rear seats

If the seat won't stay in it's tracks, pull the adjuster and reset the rails so they are even, and as long as you don't pull the adjuster while installing, the seats will work fine. I used a spring hooked to the seat frame to make it automatically come forward, and these seat have a great tilt-forward feature that makes it work well in a 2 door.

As you can see the colors match decently with the steering wheel, and the GM styling flows well.

Comparison:

The only thing I wish to add to it is some support for the seat belt plugin, as once you remove your center console(as I did long after the pictures were taken) you have to pick them up off the floor everytime you want to drive. With a stock console, the seat belts stay in stock position.

Forgot to add you remove the blazer seats with a Torx Bolt,
and here's a pic of the blazer they went in

what does the camaro seat do for a reg cab sonoma, i been wanting camaro seats for a long time, do they set ya lower to the floor or anything like that. What's the advantages. thanks man

 

[Daveman2]

Hey, sorry I can't help anyone other than 2-door blazer owners, I've only ever worked on that kind of interior. I re-used my old rails and bolted them to the camaro seats

These seats are slimmer and shorter than the stock seats, I'd say you sit about 3/4" lower and 3/4" farther back compared to the stock seats. You also lose ALOT of weight in this swap, well over 30 or 40lbs

The biggest improvement in my book is the side supports, you don't have to physically hold yourself up anymore through turns, the stock seats are trash.

that's great what years fit out trucks, i used to own a 94z loved the car and the seats. power everthing. i cannot find seats anywhere that are decent. poeple say to get them re done, but i love the look of a factory seat that woult match my truck. anyone have any sugestions. on where to find good factory seats., thanks for the info

 

[Daveman2]

got mine at a junkyard, they had leather ones too but I didn't have the $$$ . . .

look for a sports car specific salvage yard

 

[gluka47]

what year was the camero

 

[Mikz86TA]

Those look to be 2000-2002 seats by the fabric.
I did 1999 seats which was the same just different fabric.
Any 1998-up seat will be the same basic design. The 93-97 is very similar as well. The Firebird TransAm seats also work in the same way.

They're too wide. That and the seatbelt is IN the seat of the silverado. As opposed to the S10's which is in the pillar.

what about GTO seats? those would be pimp..
Mike- what console is that on the 2nd pic? looks like an 80s camaro console modded?

 

[TobyTheSandwich]

There was a guy around here who put the backseat of a GTO in his car. I think they could be way too tall. But there's only one way to find out, try.

Its one that I built. I do car audio work in Tallahassee. Its MDF construction, the top panel is clear lexan painted IndigoBlue from the back side, used stainless allen button head hardware, wrapped the sides in same material that the seats were wrapped in, made the console lid and had the upholstery guy wrap/sticth that, used stock console bin, cupholder, Schutt shifter boot/ring, put some auxillary input plugs, a front bin and a 2 1/16" gauge pod.
Originally I made the top plate from aluminum strips to resemble older 60's Impala SS console top plate but decided to do the painted lexan

Hey a buddy was telling me yesterday that my 2001 zr2 ext cab can take an 84-92 f body (firebird or camaro) seats with no problems they bolt right in no mods anyone know this to be completely true before i go finding replacement seats lol thanks!

Your buddy was telling you wrong. The seats will fit. But you can't bolt F-Body rails to the S10's floorpan directly. You can do what was described in the thread here though.

As for "84-92". The third gen started in 1982. And the seat rails for the F-Bodies are all the same from 1982-2002.

I am about to get a set of power leather seats from a 2000 z28. I would love to keep the power adjustment. My stock seats are the split bench. Any suggestions? Appreciate the help in advance.
