: Anyone install Camaro/Firebird seats in Elky? 70ElkySS Mar 26th, 04, 2:38 PM I have a bench now and really want to put in some late model buckets for comfort. This is for my '70 daily driver and I'm really not concerned about originality. I have a line on some really nice '02 Firebird leather seats and I think I'm going to get them, but was wondering if anyone else has done this. Any problems/issues with the install? Thanks! engineer Mar 26th, 04, 3:17 PM get the seat bolting cut out off the floor pans along with the seats. Or you will have to fab up some for each side. Clint44 Mar 26th, 04, 5:07 PM Herb Lumpp's 66 Elky has a pair of C4 Corvette bucket seats in it. An El Camino has enough room to run almost any seat. MCAF Mar 28th, 04, 10:26 AM I also have C4 seats in my Elky very comfortable. Now all I need is some kind of center console to hang my elbow Mike pmullaly Mar 28th, 04, 12:10 PM Hey Mike I'd like to see a shot of those seats you have installed. MCAF Mar 29th, 04, 8:50 AM I could take a couple of pics and email them to you if thats all right don't have any were to host them Mike kamino69er Mar 29th, 04, 8:36 PM Mike, can you send some pictures my way too please.

What about the console? Is it out of another car or did you build it? rick Apr 1st, 04, 11:59 PM 70ElkySS Thanx, and they are comfortable too. The console is from a 67 Camaro. I built the piece at the front of the console to house the radio & gauges. Purs Apr 17th, 04, 12:11 AM OK, it's not an El Camino, but they are firebird seats in my '68 :D http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/Purs/seats.jpg pmullaly Apr 17th, 04, 2:01 PM Rick, What seat belt setup are you using? rick Apr 17th, 04, 3:42 PM Phillip If you are asking me, they are a set I got from JC Whitney and would not recommend them. There are several things that are just not right, including that they don't auto-retract very well. rick pmullaly Apr 18th, 04, 1:50 PM advice noted Thanks | ||
