    Does anyone know if the front seats from a 1984 Eldorado will bolt in to my 1989 Buick Estate boxie?

    Steering column too? I have a chance to get the Eldo for free. Looking at parts I might be able to use on my Wagoon.

    I'd think the seats might fit. You're dealing with a front-drive vehicle there with the Eldo though - might need some accomodation for the driveshaft hump.

    Not sure on the steering column. There again, FWD might mean it doesn't fit.

    The head of the column might be usable for parts or in its entirety, but the bottom of the column is definitely different. The seats will be a size fit, but new holes may need to be drilled.

    Neither the seats nor the column will bolt in. Both can be made to work with fabrication. How are your skills and tools?
