I was told that they would, and if they don't, I wouldn't think it'd be hard to fab up. Good luck.

Ask zeph...he did it.

When you remove the old seats, the 4th Gen Seats drop right on to the (4) studs on floorpan. But by chance, someone idiot removed the rails from the 4th gen seats, yes the 3rd gen rails will bolt on with some effort.

If you want to buy or sell seats, your best bet is E-Bay. They have the largest selection at times and the biggest market for buying & selling, I bought & sold my seats on there with no problems.

Ebay the way to go

I am in the process of purchasing front seats off ebay and rear seats off a member on here. Hold out for a good set the black and gray wind up on ebay all the time. Within the week I was looking there was atleast 3 sets. I noticed if you want them and they offer buy it now you better do it. If the price is right. They sometimes go for over that 300. I lucked out got all of them including shipping for 260. Happy Hunting. My uncle lucked out one time and got them at the local salvage yard for 80 dollars front and rears straight out of a car and t-top shades

Go to junk yards first, they will probably be the cheapest. After that look on ebay, this board, thirdgen.org (someone has a set for sale over there right now actually).

Depends on how long the car been sitting in the junkyard?? Seats from this source can be pretty rough.

Just run power to your seats from the fuse box 3 ft away.

There shouldn't be. There is a motor in the seats, the motor needs power and a ground right? What else could it need, there arn't any sensors or anything in it.

Yeah the power seats just need voltage and groundage. I converted my RS which also didn't have the factory harness. The motor and switches and all that jazz are built into the seat/track.
