Default 81 Corvette seats

Does anyone know if the seat bottom from the passenger side will work on the drivers side? I would be removing the passenger seat bottom from the frame and want to install onto my power seat frame.

I believe so. They interchange on my '79 but I dont have power seats. In fact the seats on mine are interchangeable. Not sure which one was originally on which side.

If you are talking about the actual seat cushion then yes they will interchange as will the seat back cushion. No difference in a manual or power seat cushion. If you are talking about the actual seat base then there is a slight difference in the seat base. The manual seat base has no cutout where the power seat switch mounts like the power seat base does. The tracks all bolt up the same to the seat bases, manual or power.
