Anyone have Jeep Grand Wagoneer seats in their Squares?

I used to have an 87 Jeep Grand Wagoneer my last year of undergrad. The truck was a rusted out gas-guzzling oil burning pig, but I got it for dirt cheap, it handled snow and ice like a boss, and I remember the seats were amazingly comfortable. Has anyone here tried using these seats in a square? I haven't seen any and I can't figure out why for the life of me. They hold up amazingly well (I've seen several 200,000 + mile Wags for sale with very good condition seats), they are leather, they are power-operated, and they are super comfortable. The most common colors were tan and maroon, which are pretty common interior colors for our old Squares. My 86 Silverado has a tan cloth bench seat with some small rips in it so it would match the rest of the interior perfectly. I just wonder what all would be involved to fabricate a mounting bracket and get the power adjustments to work right. Maybe they aren't as wide as our bench seats though. But I'm curious to hear what people think. If I didn't have my square I'd have a Wagoneer. They are fantastic vehicles and highly underrated in my opinion.

I haven't seen them in a square but I strongly considered them when I was first building my truck. They look very similar to the original lowbacks. I didn't pay a lot of attention to the mounting situation on them but I like the look of them.

Re: Anyone have Jeep Grand Wagoneer seats in their Squares?

I guess the real question is where the hell can I find the front seats/tracks from a wagoneer to drop in? I'm always surprised at how few wagoneers I see on the road and in junk yards since they made them for so long and they were such sturdy, tough vehicles. I'm in Indiana so it shouldn't be too hard to find vehicles that have been eaten away by road salt but the interior is still good. To my surprise, Wags are hard to come by...
