Not very eco:
I took out the torn up 1984 vintage seats and replaced them with much newer, far more comfortable seats out of a mid 1990s chevy van.
Van seats and truck body seats are not interchangable. Had to make the truck seat brackets fit the van seats with my MIG welder.
$50 for both seats. I believe the seats are not OEM.
More eco:
Also installed a 10lb lighter half ton astro van master cylinder, replaced the factory cast iron master cylinder with cast iron tank unit with an aluminum body, plastic tank unit.
$20 for the used lighter master cylinder as opposed to spending $40 to $60 for a reman/new unit.
I guess both are recycling and reuseing.
