here's my old Camino wiyh those same High back bucket seats that yall say are soo old ball,a nd not g-body.
one more...
That first picture is of my car. Def gbody seats as I pulled mine out of a cutlass in the yard and the car next to them had the same seats. I however redid the upholstery.
I had these Bonneville seats in my wagon for a while, but they were too wide.
I was able to install them, but they interfered with the console:
I replace them with these seats from a Pontiac Grand Am. I think it was a 2003 model year car:
My car originally had a power driver's seat, but the Grand Am seat tracks had all the seat belt buckle load bars attached and I didn't want to spend all the time modifying them, so I used a set of tracks from a full-size FWD Bonneville. It also was a load-bearing structure, but the modification to remove the load brackets was simple.
It's been a while since I installed these, but I think I only had to elongate one mounting hole to bolt the tracks into the car.
With this seat and track combination, the driver's seat sits about 1/2" too high in the car. It is certainly liveable, but I would like to be able to get the seat a little lower.
If I ever get motivated to change this, I will try replacing the "H" body tracks with a G body or F body power seat adjuster to lower the height.
The seats are quite comfortable and there is no interference with the door or the console.
These seats were the "graphite" color; I used SEM Color Coat to match them to the blue interior.

I wanna put buckets in my wagon, and currently i have a 60/40 bench with 2 tracks on either side of the transmission hump... are there buckets that simply bolt into place? what donors cars are worth looking into for seats?
