body and interior Rear Seat Question! Need Answer Fast!

[Gatopescado]

Are 320 rear two-piece seats interchangeable with 2002s? My '71 rear seats are junk, and I saw a decent set up in the junkyard in a 320 that I could stick in if they fit. Are they the same? Close enough? Thanks for any input y'all can give me.

"Close enough" that it can be made to fit by adjusting the corners of the seat bottom - it will gouge the side panels otherwise. You could salvage the 320 covers & padding and swap them over to your seat frames.

Thank you for the replies. I'll take a closer look at them and see just how good they are. I can pick up both top and bottom for $40. They are black, and would work, but ideally should be sable/brown. I paid some a-hole local to redo them for $250 in the correct color and fabric, and they sat on them for 3 months and didn't do a f-ing stitch! I kicked their ass, got my money back and have been driving around with a bare rear interior since. Do-It-Myself seems like the way to go at this point.

I love it when a plan falls together. Got an email from the junkyard (part of the "tool club") and HOT DOG! Private "half-price" sale on some stuff this weekend, including SEATS!

 

Think I might yank the 5-speed while I'm up there. Condition unknown, but worth a gamble for around $80, no? Maybe get motivated and grab the rear end, too.

UPDATE (If anybody cares): Went to the junkyard, pulled the 5-speed, removed the seat covers from the frames, paid $2.99 each! Got motivated the other day and bought 2 pieces of 1" foam, compressed the frames of the original seats and got busy. Not perfect, but good enough and certainly better than what I had. A little extra material on the top corners, but overall looks okay. The bottom turned out real good.

 

Whole job done for under $20. Got the 5-speed for $80.

 

I'm such a cheap-skate.

Good job. And a 5-speed for $80!

 

Cheap-skate? I like to call it being frugal.
