will sedan/wagon seat go into ute?

I need to source a front seat for my FB ute, was wondering if ute/sedan/wagon were all the same as far as dimensions/mounting point etc. I know the patterns are different but I'm not too worried about that.

Also is EK and FB he same?

Thanks

Also if you have a spare seat in Sydney for sale let me know.

Thanks again
Greg

yeah all the main bits are the same, only main difference is the ashtray at the back and the colour schemes.

fb and ek also same, fe and fc fit, but slightly different shapes.

Pm me i might know where one is atm.

elephant and tiger no same.

I thought a Ute & Van seat sat higher? Hmm.

I remember having an EK sedan seat in a ute once & it was too low.

Steve i know they all fit, as to ride heights, that might be something overlooked by myself.... can of worms... willing to find out.

I think it means - "Retro has had enough bourbon"

Glad i found this post cos i was about to ask the same question. I have an old sedan seat in my project ute and as it is right now the steering wheel is right in front of your eyes. Now this could be for a number of reasons.
1. Because its a HT steering wheel and they may have been much different geometry.
2. Because the seat needs to be resprung therefore has a lot of sag when you sit on it.
3. Or sedan seats DO sit lower.

Now i have no idea which of these can or would affect the positioning but really need to find out before i go shelling out the coin to have this seat reupholstered.
Thanks guys, Ryan

Can't see why there would be a difference - after all a ute is a sedan with the back chopped off, in fact if you take the tray floor out you'll see the rest of the sedan floor pan & everything is interchangable apart from the side front window & door.
