ok story first. im 6'4" so needless to say in our roomy cars i gotta lean back everytime i wanna get my legs out of my car. well after a long time of leaning my ****ing drivers seat broke. front left corner frame snapped.

my question is sense the seat belt bolts into the body and not the seat itself can i just swap out the drivers seat with the passanger seat?. i dont care that one is electric and one is not. i would think they should swap right out. anyone done this or know of it being done? i really dont wanna go ahead and swap them just to find out im wrong. those 4 bolts are a bitch to reach sometimes lol

Can't help you any with the bolt pattern in the floor, so no clue if a pass seat will fit.

I can say that the seatbelt clip will be in the center of the car. If you remove the holder there will be holes in the fabric underneath. Not sure if you'd want to put covers on them.

Here's a pic of the seat belt holder I'm talking about ...

everything will bolt right up but it will be reversed.....

and ur other seat will still be broken..... just go to a junk yard and get one for 50 bux... be a man.
if my memory serves me correctly u got the car for free when the insurance company totalled it out due to HAIL....... sink a dollar into her and she'll last u forever man

I have a Kirkey Ill sell ya... haha

but yes in a pinch were you have to drive the car, you can swap the seats and the brakets, but i agree with Rags, that you will need to buy a new seat so it looks normal, unless you want to do a car like mine...

well tried today and no it does not work. 3 out of 4 bolts fit but the front left corner is off by about a 1/4 inch and will not go on. i tried local junkyards. every single one of them (called 10) immediatley said nopedont have any. so im **** out of ****ing luck i guess. unless i buy a replacement bracket which im sure will cost a ****ing fortune. i have just about had it with ford

Didn't the added hight piss you off though? I put them in mine but took them out because my head was rubbing the damn headliner.

Why not just modify the stock tracks? Just drill new holes for the seat bottom and slide it back. There was a write up floating around a few years ago.
