the rear seats are all the same I'm pretty sure. they all have two locking pins at the top and on pivot and on release on the lower. you can always look into GC rear seats but custom fab is involved.

You are correct. Seat styles never changed through the years besides the patterns sewn into them.

2 door seats are exactly the same as 4 door seats. If you found a fresh set from any year they'll swap right in.

2 door and 4 door rear seats are the same. But front seats are different right? 2 door front seats recline forward to allow access into the back?

Cool, I'm about to swap my 4 door into a 2 door. My driver seat is a bit torn, so wanted to make sure I get the right seat!

How do you plan on swapping a 4 door into a 2 door?

I posted about in CHAT. '96 4 door, falling apart. Rust, brittle parts, and about to purchase complete new lift(bye bye RC)

Have a completely, I mean completely stripped 2 door, straight body, rust free. This way I can start fresh, and detail as I go. Replace with new, Instead of cutting out and fabricating. Like say leaf spring bolts in the rails!

Well not that that stripped... it has glass!
