Answer 1

Had a 75 K2500 454 mud racing truck that I put bucket seats in out of a Blazer...just had to drill some holes and modify the brackets a little.Should not be much of a problem swapping in aftermarket ones--just some minor mods and putting carpet between the seats. Paul

Answer 2

Whats the point in a corsa? I have the use of a Lamborghini Diablo and a Ferrari 328 and those don't feel the need to have them...........you would look a complete C*nt with buckets in a corsa! If you want more sporty seats try a breaker for some leather trimmed calibra seats.

with a little modification to the floor board some grade 8 bolts and some 1 1/2" square tubing you cold fit some late model seats in with the flip down center console. Put them in a K5 last year, they seem to mesh well with the truck

Answer 4

yes, it can be done. the main thing to look for is obstructions under the floor of the truck when you are drilling for the new seat bracket bolt holes. watch for cables, wires, fuel lines, etc. just be careful drilling the holes and you'll be fine. oh, and you might want to make sure the seats will be high enough (you might need a custom bracket) and will fit into your truck before you buy them.

if you want a comfortyable ride use cadilac bucket seats probably just a bolt on
