Looking to upgrade my bucket seat situation in my 83 el Camino. Currently has bucket seats from a mid 80s Camaro. I kinda hate them for many reasons. Looking for suggestions for a bucket seat that’s economical, fits well and comfortable. Can be aftermarket or out of another vehicle.

I just bought Procar Elite 1100s. They haven't got here yet but I'll let you know how they are
I bought Cerullo GT buckets for my Regal, while not cheap they are made to order with your choice of material/color and are extremely comfortable, I made mine both power using Gbody power bases.
I initially tried to keep my seats within budget but decided in the long run it was better to get a set of new seats that I knew would be comfortable and be a style that IMO looks right in a Gbody and match my interior and since I have had Cerullo's in my Monte for decades I know they will last.

Man, those are nice and they fit the G style very well. I bet you give those bolsters a workout.
I got a set of fiero buckets for my Malibu and I’m happy with them. I got them for free, so they’re even better.
Almost any GM bucket seat from the 70's to the 2000's will bolt right up. I prefer the Firebird/Camaro seats as they are the same width as our G-bodies. Some of the 'B' body cars are too wide and hit the doors. But they will bolt up. These are 1994 Formula Firebird seats, mounted to 1995 Buick LaSabre power bases.
If you don't have the inner floor mounts for buckets or 60/40 seats then you will need to weld these in.

Like Bonnewagon said almost any bucket seat 80s-2000's will bolt onto the factory rails.
The seats pictured below are from a 2003ish Pontiac sunfire and were $75 in great condition. They bolted directly onto the factory rails with no modifications needed.
I just used the Gbody seat spacers.
