Interior year and G8 interchanges

Post by VintageIron41 »

Hello and thanks for taking time to read this.

Can anyone tell me please of a 2014-17 Caprice will accept a G8 set of seats front and rear, and, if a G8 tap shifter can be made to work in the latter series Caprice? In that '14 the shifter moved from the floor to the column..

Thank you!

you are welcome !

the bad thing is with less SS's made some parts can cost more , and to do the console swap , we need to replace the outter dash shell , other wise the console wont reach the dash

As always thank you for your replies. Is there a sticky, or, has someone done the SS/PPV console swap? As a toolmaker and woodworker, I would not be opposed to making a custom console that made the parts blend together.

Has someone put G8 seats in a 2014-2017 PPV? Or, are there other seats that have the same floor bolt pattern?I have done searches, but there are many threads that share common words, like swap, or interchange.

My Charger shares the same floor pan with the 300, so I was able to put a leather set of seats in it, just looking to see if there is a way to that that in the different year Caprices, the WM and WN, am still looking for a car, so not sure what year will be the one I get.

Thank you!

The user "silversled" has done an SS dash swap in his 2014. Search his username and see if you can find his posts. It looks awesome.
