I would like to change from split bench to bucket seats in my Imperial. The drivers seat doesn't have seat back recline; only whole seat recline. I thought about using (2) passenger side seat frames, and then modify for recline. I don't want to get away from the '81 only seats. Will other J body frames, or just seat backs work? I plan on running a console, that is the reason for the conversion. Until I find a console, shifter handle elegant enough for a Slap Stick, and column for floor shift, I'd like to mod the existing seat. Thank you, Larry
