: What kind of seats are these?

OK, so this is probably not the greatest idea, but I need buckets and these seats are close to my house. No brackets, so I need to figure out what they fit and maybe figure out some brackets for them. For the price, they're going to be hard to beat. Hard to beat unless they're completely useless to me, of course.

Here's the link:

I don't think they are Camaro seats, but if you like them you can always fab them to fit.

Not a bad looking hi back

Cool. I was thinking Camaro or Blazer.

Did some looking around last night and found universal sliders and brackets on Summit for a fairly decent price. I'm hoping I can score some of those and get 'em mounted up. Assuming, of course, that I win the auction.

Thanks for the help!

the repro bucket seat tracks will work but there $90 per seat. I recently put '02 camaro seats in my '69 and they bolted right in.

If I remember correctly...JR might be able to confirm this...these are the buckets that always break because of a weak reclining mechanism on one side...

The Summit universal tracks work great...have used many in race cars attaching various types of bucket seats...39.95 brand new last time I checked...

70Gold is right,those seat's break real easy.Not just the recline is weak,they used too small of a bolt to hold them on!

Those universal seat brackets are basically flat aren't they? Your factory seats were up around 3" off the floor so using the universals are going to put your seats pretty low in the car. Something to consider before rather then after.
