Default Magnum to Chrysler 300 seats swap???

Anyone know if the front and rears from a Crysler 300 are direct bolt in to a Magnum or if there are some modifications necessary? I am guessing simple bolt in swap since so many componenets seem to be shared, but before I buy seats I would sure like to be sure. Thanks.

what are you exactly doing besides upgrading from magnum to 300 seats are you installing or wanting to install srt seats or power seats for both fronts not just driver.


the back seat will work but you will need to swop out the support frame from the magnum to the new seat. the magnum uses metal frams becuase there is no back deck for top support. plus you will need the side cushions in the back as well. you will need to undo the staples holding the material to the plastic then swop the entire material to the magnums plstic but answer the other question to start.

Default Seat swap

Thanks for the response. I want the SRT seats - my preference is to find tan Heritage 300 seats as the color will match and although the upholstery pattern woiudl be different I would then just swap out the fronts. If I go with both and rear swap I will probably look for a full set from a Magnum ST8 to minimize the rear seat mods.

My current driver seat is power, pass side is not - every set of ST8 seats I have seen are power both sides so I would probably look to connect the pass side. Also, if the seats are heated I would tprobably connect them if the exisitng harness accomodates it without additional wiring other thant the switches.

I had a 300 Heritage until some dumb*** ran a light and hit me, and the seats in it were terrific.
