Default Swap seats from other GM trucks?

I just picked up a 2011 cargo with cloth and the seats are pretty worn out.

My plan is to hit the salvage yard and find a nice set out of a more upscale van. Maybe heated leather if I can find some.

Will seats from GM pickup trucks or SUVs bolt in to our vans? That would really widen the choices.

I doubt it. Vans have very upright seating.

You can make your own mounts and make them fit. You have to learn to improvise.

Very true. If I see the right seats I'll make them work.

Well, the Chevy truck seats aren't a direct swap. The tracks are wider. The SUVs don't fit either.

I was looking for a quick fix to get my new van up to speed for work and found an older vinyl passenger seat out of a work van that looks like it was barely used. It works fine for a driver seat until I find something nicer that's worth modifying to fit. The only difference is the tilt handle is on the door side but it doesn't touch. For $35 it sure beats the torn cloth with the frame showing through.
