Late model seats in a G body?

[Doug Chahoy]

What is the width of the stock bucket seat? Since my project is an Elco,I need seats with the shoulder height seatbelt guide.

Stock Monte bucket seat is about 20 1/2" to 21" wide, with the plastic cover for the recliner.

No luck at picapart. But saw 2 sets both ripped, in mid-late80s Cadillac Eldorados. They are sporty and slim,they even have the built in seatbelt guide my Elco needs. Only 21 inches wide. Now I just have to find a nice set.

When I upgraded the seats in my Monte, I found that most GM bucket seats, from the late '70s to the early 2000s, have the same bolt mounting pattern on the bottom of the seats, where the seat track bolts on. I ended up going with bucket seats from a '96-'98 Grand Am GT (manual lumbar adjustment on the driver's seat), on my Monte, and right now, I'm using bucket seats from an early 2000s Sunfire in my '80 Malibu. Bolted right in, no problems. The Sunfire seats are from a 2 door car, and have the seat belt guides on the headrests. Hope this helps.

My picapart yard has alot of them but so far only cloth or damaged vinyl/leather. As I said in my last post they have 2 86-91 Cadillac Eldorados that the seats fit the need in every way. They're are damaged though so I posted a want add on the Pgh Craigslist. In a city like Pgh they shouldn't be hard to locate,especially since color doesn't matter.
