Hello people, I am new here! I just bought an 1988 Chevy caprice wagon converted into a hearse from a local funeral house. I will post some picture of it really soon! It is very clean and good looking ( 55 000 km, no rust ) I have a question though. It it converted into a hearse, so there's no backseat for the 2nd doors. It is replaced by a wood floor with cylinders ( where you put the coffin...). I found in a car dump near where I live an old very good looking chevy caprice , the same year as mine, with the exact gray color as there is in my car. It is not a wagon though and I want to know if that would still fit in my wagon. sorry for my english, i'm french canadian. Thank you!
You may have to do something for the backing of the seats as I beleive that the backs of the ones in the sedan don't have any backings.
If you look at the back of the seats in a wagon, there is a carpeted type of backing, forgive my poor technical terms. But because the seats fold down, they have the backing on it so you can store cargo in there. Of course, a sedan seat wouldn't fold down, either. There is the backing I'm talking about on the rear seat.
Ah I see! Well anyway I don't think I need it, because mine is already ''backeted''.There's a huge piece of wood covering the entire back. Let me post a picture. But do you think they will fit on the ground? I may be able to fix them ?
Bienvenue Shining . You're going to need the wagon seats and probably the wagon side panels. Once you get some pictures posted the GM members can help you out with more details, but CapriceEstate is right. Wagon seats. The seat bottoms should fit from the other car, and you could adapt the sedan rear seatback, because colour matching will be very hard to do. The backseat frame will be very different. Hope that helps.
Yes that helps! As I don't need to drop down the seats ( 6 foot long of storage is enough for me ) , and if you say that the bottom will fit even if it is a sedan, I will go for it.
