Just working out the dents in my AD seat aprons.....just noticed the edge detail is rounded on the driver side and square shouldered on the passenger... Anyone notice this before? Or is it just another one of those things with my truck?

I'll have to eyeball mine. I don't recall seeing a difference, but haven't looked that closely.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

You might have one from a panel truck/suburban. They are said to be different.

Mine are different side to side also. The driver's side has a flattened bead, and the passenger side is rounded. Are you sure you didn't get them mixed up? The one with the seat adjusting lever slot goes on the driver's side. I'm reasonably sure mine are original to the truck.
[on edit] Looking again at your photos, yours are configured opposite of mine.

Suburbans don't have seat aprons? At least mine don't.
