will a 65-72 around those years seat fit in my 65 elcamino. they are bucket seats.

No. Absolutely Not. No $#@@@@% way. F**D seats of any kind and any year do not fit in any size, type, year chevelle or El Camino. Period. NADA. Nope. Never. Nuh-uh. NOT!!!!! Impossible. Can't. Won't fit. Don't work. Wrong track width. Ergonomically incompatible.

Well, you get the idea.


(Ok, I really have no idea - sorry for the intrusion, I couldn't help myself)

I think that might be against the law.

That's sacrilege!!!!

 

[jocww]

ima do it anyway. cuz theyre cheap and theyre in perfect or near perfect condition. theyre from my uncle so they might even be free or at least cheap and he will custom weld in the brackets. my question now is will the shoulder belts on the 5 pt belts slide off. or what will happen

Also...I'm pretty sure that the bumpers off a 1972 pinto will fit too.

You'll have to do a little fabrication, but if you have a tiny bit of imagination, you can make them fit.

You'll just have to explain your bastardized car to everyone, everywhere you go.

I don't think they will fit... I think those are metric seats, yeah... metric,.. Chevelles are SAE and therefore can only use GM parts.

hey man its all about what i can do on a budget. if i got some nice recaros for free id put those in but i cant get them so i m just going to put in these mustang seats. theyre a whole lot better than my bench with springs going up my ass

ROFLMAO

Is your bench so bad that you cant recover it for cheap? IF you do put those mustang seats in, be smart and get some sort of seat covers. OTherwise, like CJlandry said, you'll be explaining it to everybody that sees them in the car. Almost any seat will fit with some ingenuity, though.

yea theyre pretty bad i put a blanket over it but that doesnt go over well with the ladies. so yea i need some sort of buckets. i didnt really check that close but i dont see a stang on them. back to my seats u can see the floor boards throught them so they are that bad.

5-point harnesses need to be attached to a roll bar or something else, but attached up high (shoulder height)... Therefore they shouldn't be able to really slide down much...

If you have 5-point harnesses attached to the floor, that is incorrect and unsafe, maybe less safe then using only the lap belts...

 

[jocww]

how is it less safe. so do you guys think the belts will slide off
