seat question

I have seen where you can convert a power seat to a manual seat on the passenger side on the c5. Can the same thing be done on the driver side?

Absolutely. They aren't really available, as there were very few driver-side manual seat tracks ever produced. So this means you would have to convert a passenger track for driver-side duty.

In fact, I have one already-converted for sale!

Ok. Got the price. Never bought from anyone on this forum. How do I arrange to pay for it?

Perhaps the most common option is Paypal (or at least the one I use most often). Typically it is sent to the recipient's email address.

This guy installs a budget fixed seat on the stock power mount works nice

It's probably just a matter of making new seat mounting blocks that are less tall, the main challenge being adding the seat belt mount.

Yes I took pictures of the height difference between manual and power. It's a little hard to discern but here's what I have:
