1979 Station Wagen you know a Bay Window

Are the front seats interchangable? I got a new bus over the weekend and the driver seat is hammered. Can I just take them off the rail and swap them?

I did it when I restored my seats: the driver's seathad no stuffing and the springs were softer so I swapped seats while I did the resto. I left them swapped afterwards so the passenger seat gets it's share of wear over the next 25 years.

Ratwell, I read and saw the pictures that you had done this on the web site. I could see you stripped the seats down all the way. Did you do those one at a time? So you would have one to drive with? Was it a weekend project?

Just want to make sure, when removing the drivers side seat, do I need to remove steering wheel or anything? Or is there enough clearance space?

At that time I can just slide the passenger seat off and onto the drivers rail system. Is that right?

THanks Ratwell.

Vanagon seats! They slide right in (the late Bays) and have arm rests!
