Other than g body bucket seats. Are there any other bucket seats that bolt directly to the stock bucket rails? The driver seat of the pair I picked up has a bent top from the person(s) getting in /out and leans left. Still want it to have folding /reclining seats to get to the smugglers box.
Also has anyone fit a 85+ mph speedometer from another car into the stock gauge cluster other than finding 115mph one from a MCSS? I’m staying with the cable and am getting a 8000rpm tach from Dixie or one of the supporters of here soon.
Thanks for the help!

I thought I read a thread oh here of someone who put a blazer setup in their car but I can't remember if it was higher then 115mph. I'm not sure if there is another speedo that goes above 115 that is a direct fit in the original spot.

Thank you. I know I can send it out and get recalibrated but was told they didn’t know how close to accurate it would be.

Here's what I did to get rid of the 85mph speedo. I found 85mph was useless since it is usually pegged or passed the mark anyway. AZ has nice speed limits with descent leniency.

As much as i love that setup I’m kind of staying stock-ish with the dash. Just couldn’t bring myself to spend the cash in that direction. I’m still debating on the tach until later or doing now. Cash flow dictates the wishes.
NH is limited on the speeding areas. Small town police with big ax’s to grind and all that.

I completely understand the "cash flow" thing. I'm old school. I save the money then buy the stuff. If I use "The Card" I typically have all or most of the money up front.

I installed fiero buckets in my Malibu. They bolted right to the factory bucket seat tracks.

Are you looking for a set of cutlass bucket seats. NH is close

I have a complete set front and back in tan.

I won’t ship these
