Front seat swap for a 77FC31

[Tim Hannink]

I got lucky and came across a set of tan and brown captians chairs
out of a Chevy conversion van in a local junk yard. I grabbed the
seats and belts for $60.00 - just had to clean a few spots and they
look like new.

They were a direct bolt-on to the existing pedestal. While I was at
it, I changed the position of the seat slide control cylinder so its
under the front of the seat instead of the rear - that way I can
reach the manual control lever while seated and move the seat
without being a contortionist.

Good luck,
