Default seat question

Just picked up a 79 that is real nice but the seats are very uncomfortable compared to my C5. Did anyone change the factory seats or modify them. The back either folds foreword or leans back to far.

many have changed the seats. C5 seats will fit if you like them better. If it's just at the section of yours that folds, that is uncomfortable then maybe they have just been bent or needs adjustment.

On my 1977 seats there are threaded bumpers in the seat back which allow the angle to be changed. An easy solution if they're there on your seats as well!

Different seats. His 79 has the split backs.
