240 DL Seats

Can anybody help me? My drivers seat on a 1991 DL (great shape-reliable) is
uncomfortable. It slants toward the right and no adjustments help. The
passenger seat is great. Can I switch them and what will this involve
besides a wrench?
Thanx for any help.

If you switch them the knob to adjust it will be difficult to reach and on
the wrong side. I suggest you remove the driver's seat and have a look at
it, is the frame bent/broken or is it just the foam, or springs/basket under
it? If the frame is tweaked see if you can find another '86-'93 driver's
seat at a salvage yard, doesn't even have to be the right color because it's
really easy to swap the upholstery. Between two seats you should be able to
get a good one put together. If the foam is deteriorated badly you could get
some out of a passenger seat, it usually is in better shape, but so far I
haven't ever had to replace a foam.
