Direct swap bucket seats?

[Jarhead79]

I've seen several posts on changing seats etc, and making brackets, but is there any direct swaps to be found? My 79 already has a 60/40 bench out of an 88up Chevy but the brackets have been cut and hacked, don't feel safe with them like this but would like to do buckets instead and make a console.

Only direct swap are 100% OEM original bucket seats which are about as rare as a unicorn.

I have OEM bucket seats but made up some bracketry from bench seats and a few pieces of welded metal.

Was kinda figuring that, lol I just don't like how the original owner cut and hacked the frame, it doesn't move or anything but I'm afraid a little if I'm in a wreck it would break apart

Seatbelts hold you not the seat

The closest you will get are factory buckets from a K5.

Although 1 of 2 things.. 1 I don't like how the passenger seat sits compared to the driver seat. And 2 I need to move the sets further in than out cause they aren't centered to the steering wheel.

No it's not that, I just don't like half assed jerry rigging, I wear my seatbelt but I don't have faith in them much either, lol

Suburban bucket seats will swap in but will need two riser brackets weld in for inner front mounting point of the seat

These Procar seats are a direct bolt in if you buy the adapter brackets also available from Summit.

Nice lookin seats

 

[Jarhead79]

Yes they are! Price doesn't seem to bad either

Also spied those racing buckets, wonder how hard they are to make fit or will they bolt up like the low back buckets with the adapter kit
