new upholstery fit reclining seats?

[GregC-HCG]

Hey guys-
New here and am already loving it. Got some pm's that have been helpful. Here's my next thing: Just got my seats redone and then found out that there were reclining seats in certain models of G Bodies. I've been despising my non-reclining seats for 16yrs! Well, now that I have the seats recovered, I'm wanting to upgrade to reclining seats. I have found some that are reasonable. Will my upholstery swap over to the other seats? Or, are there differences in the upholstery due to the mechanics?

Yes, they can be swapped over. Make sure u get reclining buckets that don't have separate headrests Also, the bottom (butt) section won't even need swapped over..the rec and non rec buckets share the same bottoms.

Great- thanks for the quick info. Btw, just replied to your pm about the console and other parts!

This is good to know. I have 2 passenger reclining seat backs that I am installing within the next week.
The drivers and passenger backs are identical. I just have to relocate the seat belt bracket. The holes are already pre drilled on both sides.

nice looking seats and door panels btw...

Yep true, also drivers and pass seat bottoms/butts interchange.
