Default seat swap.

Hey members, I have 96 LT-4 with the delux seats. My driver's side seat leather is worn and I would like to move the whole seat to the passenger side and vice versa, because the leather on that seat is almost new. So my question is whether I can just swap the seats and go or are they specifically left and right?

That is what I would like to do. Just swap the seats, not any hardware. I don't want to have to remove the upholstery either.

The cushions can be changed but the buckets are side specific.

I see that. I changed the bottoms inside of 5 min. but looks like the backs are tedious. I can live with it as is. Thanks for the quick response.

I have a 1988 and have been looking around the valley for the cost of re-upholstering my seats in new black leather. Down right expensive !!!! Over a $1,000 for the pair and mine are just 3 quarters a seat with no back. I just payed for 100% leather seat covers off ebay. A business out of Houston TX charged me $300+ $29 shipping for a pair of black leather seat covers that will fit the same way as my sheep skin seat covers. They are also black by the way. Anyway my awesome girlfriend says the sheepskins make her ***** sweat and complains about them. So I bought these for less than $400. I will unbolt them from the car and then go to work getting them over the whole seat plastic shell included. I pray that it looks good. The sheep skins fit like a glove so I am hopeful. Just a thought and certainly a cheaper option for you.
