the seat belt is not anchored in those pics. just put in place to get an idea. I can't believe neither of you guys have seen those seats before. They ARE the g-body High Back style. That's for sure!! And I also have a set of the other style g-body/ monte style seats and as I said previously, They both measure the same width 20.25" to 20.5" at the seat hinge. I'll deal with it . A slight mod to the seat belt anchor will route the belt a little differently and It will be fine. The belt will still rub the seat recliner trim but It will have to do if I want those buckets in my wagon. I'll post again when the carpet and seats are in for good!!

I was thinking your seat was wider than the typical G-body seat, but you're right, it's not. As for the type of seat you have, I'm not sure what type of G-body it came out of, but I admit, I haven't seen every model of G-body seat out there. I guess I'm not familiar with that style of high back seat.
Looking at mine this AM, my seat comes close to the inner rocker panel much like yours. I guess that's the nature of the beast.
The way the seat belt was laying in there was kinda deceptive. I thought you rigged some sort of extension. :oops:

Do you have the seats/tracks on the correct sides?
The tracks are offset to clear the tunnel.
If you put the passenger seat on the driver side it will sit like that.

No way man . I have the driver seat on the driver side. Give me a little slack im not a total idiot. Nor am I 19yrs old. Comparing to Longroof79 pics his looks pretty tight too. I dont think mine has any less room.
Pass seat on the driver side? Man you got me hot with that one.

Blake, Not knowing any better, I put all my adjusters/tracks in a pile one Saturday and it took me a while to get my head around what was going on. Now, throw in a set of Camaro adjusters/tracks, and a guy can get really screwed up. ...

I'm glad I'm not responsible for one of the keys or the codes. ...
