Hi guys, have a quick question concerning changing my turismo seats out for a really nice seats from a 90's Daytona... Anyone know if the lbody rails will bolt on easily to the gbody seats..? Thought I would ask before buying them..

Educated guess says, No.
I can't put a garuntee on that, but I don't think they will...The two cars were pretty different.

I most certainly could be wrong though.

Resurrecting an old thread with some input from my experiences.

The short answer is: no they don't. Different track widths, bolt holes, etc.

They can be made to fit (I built adapters out of flat bar and cut up my floor) but the deal is that G/H/A/K/P etc. seats are larger than l-body seats. They just don't fit well into the car, you end up having to mount them too high to get them to fit, and the car also looks 'overstuffed'. You also feel dorky cause you sit so high. Wouldn't do it again.

Comes the next L-body, I looked outside Chrysler to other's smaller cars. I found a mint pair of late 80's Honda Prelude seats. They were a much better size (and waaaay more comfy - support in all the right places). I still had to cut/weld my floor again to fit them. L-bodies have a wierd shaped floor - bumps in the floor under the seat, just beside the handbrake.

The best/quickest/most authentic upgrade would be 85+ lbody seats. They are much better in terms of support, covering material and would swap right in. Pick your battles.

One thing I would also note is that Claytons car ^ is an Omni, and the rails for the 4 doors are different than the 2 door rails. The Omni's had a higher sitting seat than the Chargers and Rampages. So, it may look good in an Omni in terms of height, which Claytons blue GLH is a good example of that. But in my Rampage, I would feel like I was hitting my head.
