See if you can swop the runners from you escort seats to the cossie ones if not have them welded on to the cossie seats. The back ones are completly different so you need to get them retrimed i think i was told the the above car just took the leather off the cossie seats and put it on the escort seats but if you look close that has big gaps on each side at the back If i was you mate i would get you escort seats retrimed because the cossie ones dont tilt forward either

saff front ones are wider and dont lean forward unless you turn the adjuster thing like mad lol, you could try fitting escort runners but i imagine you will have to weld in a plate to make them fit. The rear ones that are in the photo are are saff rears, you would have to cut the 3 inch raised bit off the back of the bench and some how bolt the backs to a frame, as saffs latch bit is int the middle off the two not at the side, i think the guy has used them tho as they dont go to the edge as he has a roll cage bolted to the inner wheel arches so a retrim would be needed unless your goin for a cage and not usin the rear seats.

the front seast fit with the runners swapped dont know if they will go straight on tho as for the rear seat the bottom half that you sit on strip the cloth of the escort seat and the leather of the sierra seat and swap them over then with the back rest part of the seat you make them so they are as 1 strips of metal across the back holding them together as they are a 60/40 split they will fit like this but they are a bit narrow and the bits that would go down the side in the sierra are too big so you would need to mak something of your own hope that helped
