Front Seats

[jane field]

We replaced our front seats with new Flex Steel seats about ten years ago
and they seemed to work fine. Now my wife has some back problems and
thinks that the seats are not right. Has anyone put in seats from the old
Chevy Astro van. We had one and she liked that steat. Would that seat
work in the GMC.

I had a 98 Astro that the trans died after 310,000 miles. Those seats were very comfortable. No rips, and looked great. And I like cloth seats. Had the big pouch for maps. Both left, and right arm rest. Back of the seat tilted back, and was a power seat. Scrubbed them up with Tide. Then rinsed the seat with my power washer. My thought was that If the seat held up to the power washer. They were good to go. And one good socking. couldn't wreck it. Dried for 2 days in the sun. Then got two 15" pieces of rectangle aluminum tubing to raise to proper height. As a note. Some years only have one arm rest. Find a power base. Then put a good back seat on that base. Single seats are all the same.Bob Dunahugh 78 Mouse House

I have Chevy Astro seats. They have been recovered since this pic was
taken and now match.

We like them. I do use a bolster behind my back to fine tune the fit a
bit.
