Default 75 Seat modification
Does anyone know if it's possible to use the seats and seat belts out of a 1980 Corvette in a 1975 model? I'm just wondering because I like the later model seats better.

Seats should work if you use your 75 seat rails. 80 belts mount differently, but might work.

Probably . Friend of mine put C5 seats in his '76. May have to switch out the frame rails.
