anyone running there 68-72 chevelles buckets without headrests? does it make your car look incomplete? Jim

The headrests weren't mandatory equipment until January 1, 1969. Early '69s could be had without them but it does look a little strange when you are so used to seeing the '69s with them. I'll take what ever safety equipment is available. We had a '68 Chevelle without headrests, as they were an option, and it looked ok.

i have a 70 chevelle.i am not using headrest.i think it looks fine.i have pics if you want.

Im going to have a extra pair of 66 seats, and im thinking of putting them in my chevelle, thats the reason Im asking. jim

no headrests in my 68, i think it looks just fine

matt, pics would be great. jim

I can't help but think that something is missing if I see a '69+ without headrests. But thats just my opinion.

I dont have them on my 69 and I also think it looks just fine.

My 66 has buckets with no headrest. But the headrest and mounting kits are available, which is what I'm going to do.

I would be more worried about that disease in the console and below. ;)

Not shure what that means?

The atomic transmission you got. :yes:

Still not shure what you are talking about?
You dont like automatics?
I like mine, to each his own?

I think that automatics are a cancer. It must have four forward gears that are shifted manually and one reverse.

But your right. To each his own. :D

Well if it would make you feel any better, the gear vendors overdrive is on order.
That will go in with a manual valvebody and maybe a different shifter?
So that would be 6 forward gears that would be shifted manually and one reverse.
I see in your signature you have a 1966 Charger. 383, 727 "Auto".
1970 Chevelle 4 door. 307, "Auto"
Ya better get the torch and cut that "cancer" out of those cars. LOL

This is just my opinion...but I have always thought the headrests for these particular seats were sort of ugly...

That being said it is sort of a safety issue...and of course you could quickly remove them and poke the guys eyes out that runs into your car...

Well there is a 4 speed lined up for the Charger. And the four door is going to have the front end taken off and a few other misc. parts that I can use on a two door and then it is going bye bye. So :p

:D

Well , You all , I have a 68 Chevelle SS and there was no head rests in that year. I just loove the Original look. O by the way I didn't know chevelles had a car called Charger. Wahts up with that???:hurray::D

It's a rare one of one combo. :D

Oh no. You've got the disease too. :p

thanks for the pics. I talked to my friend tonight, the bench for the elcamino will be ready to pick up monday. the 66 buckets are going to have to find a new home, either in the chevelle or my other el camino. jim
