: Can anyone ID these buckets?
StevenS Jan 17th, 09, 11:59 AM I just picked these up. I hope and pray the frames fit my 64 chevelle seat covers. They do bolt in and they do fold straight forward.

RyanNilcea05 Jan 17th, 09, 12:38 PM If you ask me, they look like Impala buckets.
StevenS Jan 17th, 09, 3:25 PM I have a set of Impala seats too big. They hit each other.These seats fit perfect. Is there any place I can get measurements so i know the frames are the same. This is the hardest part I found so far to ID with this car.
Thanks for your help :)

64elkynss Jan 18th, 09, 2:27 PM They look like A-body to me. What do the tracks look like? Do they have all four floor mounts or only three with the fourth looking like a sleeve? The B-body or full-size cars have a stub welded to the pan from the factory that the sleeve slides over on the inside front corner(next to the console if you had one). Pics of the tracks would help. 64elkynss
StevenS Jan 18th, 09, 4:43 PM All 4 mounts. I believe the front 2 mounts are slotted and the rears are dual holes on both sides.
johnboymx Jan 18th, 09, 10:56 PM Look like 64-65 to me. I have a set that look identical in my 65 chevelle.
67shovel Jan 19th, 09, 9:11 AM They could be 66 Corvair buckets................not sure.
StevenS Jan 19th, 09, 10:11 AM Thanks guys!
StevenS Jan 19th, 09, 10:32 AM BINGO! They are 1966 corvair buckets. I googled 66 corvair and found those seats mounted in restored corvair photos. Still have to find out if the frames are the same.

StevenS Jan 19th, 09, 5:03 PM Frames the same? Looks 65 and 66 are?
R's 2 Jan 19th, 09, 6:53 PM yeah they are around those years you need to see what a set of 64 chevelle seats look like from the rear also. If the backrest has that same arch I believe you are in business.
FireguyRon Jan 19th, 09, 8:20 PM I picked up a set of 64 Corvair seats and they are 2 1/8 inches wider than stock 65 seats. There is a thread I found here doing a search on Corvair seats which describes how to make them work. Check this link.

StevenS Jan 19th, 09, 8:47 PM Thanks Ron. I have read your thread. But these are 66 seats and do indeed fold straight ahead. I still dont know if the frames are the same but I cant see them being 2 inches wider. They fit so well. Anybody have some kind of measurements?
