The back seat head rests in my Impala are big bricks that are hard to see around, too. Not so bad when they’re lowered. The fronts adjust forward/backward, so My head isn’t getting shoved forward. They’re honking big though. Had a laugh about cutting the seatbelts out of the van. Back then...

Well, I’ll have to think on that as I finish wiring up bypassing my ammeter this afternoon. Need to measure the bolt holes for the seats and go from there.

Not as goofy, but still really big. Enough that I have to sort of look around them while I’m backing up. But, I’m sure they weren’t made that large just for the sake of style. I’d prefer one that’s lower profile, but we’ll have to see what’s available.

I’m sure you’re right about the later model being a bit narrower than vintage buckets. Might depend on the donor vehicle? This is why I’m thinking about late model Challengers since they’re big cars to begin with (actually a bit larger than the original ones, I think). I used to work with a...

Wow, that was lucky, wasn’t it? They just bolted up like that? How much is “a little tall”? An inch or so? Enough to be noticeable I guess.

So perhaps a more modern, later model seat, but upholstered to have a closer appearance to a vintage seat? That’s a really interesting suggestion, and something else I never thought of.

The post by @Big_John now has me thinking about possibly fitting late model Chrysler or Dodge seats (Challenger, 300, or Charger). And I think he’s right about the OEM seats perhaps being better built than the aftermarket ones. I started looking at photos of the frames and undersides of both...

Oddly enough, I was talking with one of my neighbors about this the other day (he has a ‘67 Coronet two door), and about whether it would be possible to use seats from a late model Chrysler or Dodge (like maybe a Charger, or a 300). And my ‘14 Impala seats are very comfortable. I can drive...

I’m glad you mentioned this because, even though it should have, the thought never dawned on me that there may already be holes for buckets that are already there. I’m going to have the car jacked up tomorrow, so I’ll take a look then. I’m not for cutting up the car either. But, if a modern...

I’m not a stickler for originality either. She’s a 52 year old car, and the claim of being “original” fades as more parts are replaced, or systems are improved. I thought about having the original front seats recovered (we’ll certainly do that with the rear seat), but I have a preference for...

I was wondering whether anyone has installed aftermarket buckets into their C Body? We have the split bench front seat, which needs new upholstery. Scat/Procar has some pretty nice looking buckets, however, and I wondered whether anyone has gone that route. Thanks in advance!
