2010 Camaro interior in 70 chevelle

[chevy111]

I bought some seats from a 10 Camaro and plan on installing them in my Chevelle. Has anyone done this, and how did they go about wiring the power adjustments up. A wiring diagram would be a big help. I am still in the process of figuring out a way to mount them. Any suggestions on testing the power adjustments? I think the seats were heated but am unsure as the person i purchased them from didn't tell me.

Cant believe no one has interest in this. Heres some pics of how my install is going. The seat is sweet and very comfortable, especially compared to my bench seat. I'm really happy with the drivers side so far and it hasn't been too hard to adapt. Here's some pics.

I bought the same seats for my 67 but haven't got to the wiring portion yet, did you get the rear seat as well?

[THE TECH]

Wiring should be simple.

I've been thinking about buying some seats like this for my 69 Chevelle. Do they sit lower than the factory bench seat? How high off of the floor is the front of the seat bottom? Any other measurement's or pics would help. What's your plan for the rear seats? I'd like to put the matching rear gen 5 Camaro seats, but I think that they may be too narrow.

[CKreations]

they look really bulky and high. Make sure you aren't sticking your head through the roof.

[CreepinDeth]

I'd be interested.....
If I knew how much higher the seat base was.

I hope you got the rears too, because its going to look funny without a matching rear.
Especially camel interior with black seat fronts.

I've seen the GTO seats in F-body's and A-body's and they're just too big and bulky.
Awesome seats, but just too big and the rears eat up the entire leg room.

[icemanrd19]

sorta figured they would be too big

[billyrb]

when sitting in the seat, ideally you want your eyes to be at or just slightly below the center of the windshield. They look neat, but as mentioned above they do look a hair large for that set-up

I like those LA-Z-boy recliners

HMM nice thread, never even got as far as even upgrading a interior. My 64 F-85 pro-touring car will retain the granny interior including the vinyl bench seat with the installation of good seat belts, vinyl floor and no rear arm rests-at least for along time. Anyway my first thoughts on your project are maybe taking a long straight edge and putting it across the door sills and measure the height from the floor to the seat frame, the height maybe different as the floor may have a taper from front to rear. If the seats are going to sit to high you may have to cut down and weld the frame brackets. Does the seat frame support bolt holes match or get close to the originals? The center of the steering wheel should be close to the center of the drivers seat center? Just a novice at all this, some thoughts

Looks cool but I'd like to see how it turns out with the rear. Wiring can't be too difficult can it? How many wires are there?

[1967ls2]

I went with 2005 GTO fully electric seats in the front and I installed the rear seats as well. The rears had to be trimmed to get them to fit. The fronts sit nice once the OEM bracket was trimmed to fit. Looks good!

Man that is a great shaped and looking seat. Whack the headrest off and fill the void so that the seat is even across the top, you instantly lose 5". Bam problem solved.
You can also sink the pan down a few inches if needed to drop the seat height. Basically make footwell to footwell level.

[greensahara]

how did the install go I was thinking of doing the same thing

[greensahara]

how did the hieght and width turn out

[Cubsfan3493]

I know this is an old thread but I went ahead and bit the bullet on it and tried it myself. I will post pictures of the result, I am 6'4" I got the drivers seat in and it sits great! It took a bit of modification of the seat itself, but I am extremely happy with the result. Again, I will post pictures to this thread when I complete the project and give everyone an idea of how it works out.

Edit: As far as the wiring goes, it is extremely simple to get the seat working. I am still working on figuring out how to get the seat heaters to work, for some reason that is important to me even though I live in Texas....

[732ndgen]

hope it turns out good for you,when I purchased my 69 Camaro it came with a full set from a 2010 Camaro and was hoping to get them installed.

did you get the seats installed in your 67?

how did you wire the seat?

[CapSS92]

If you are just looking for power, take the big connector and just use the thick black wire for ground and the other thick wire, I think it's red/white or orange, and put power to it. I just installed a set into my buddy's 69 Camaro. Super tight fit in a Camaro. Sorry for the huge pics. I resized them twice and they still come out monster size.

Haven't heard from the OP on here for years, so no chance of hijacking lol. Alex, I would love to see more pics of how you inegrated the camaro dash/interior into yours. It looks awesome. i checked your posts here but didnt find any...

[CapSS92]

Hi, not much to tell really. I copied what everyone else on the web did lol. I was supposed to finish the LS wiring on it as my friend had already installed the dash using some home made brackets. But it keep drooping down so I told him to get me the dash support piece that runs underneath. Luckily his other friend crashed a just paid off 2011 Camaro. So he brought me the support along with the ends cut out from the body where it bolted onto. The support is the perfect width. I just welded the ends onto right about where the covers for the door hinge bolts are. He had already trimmed the dash to fit. He cut it up to about where the center trim piece is. I think it's a speaker or a vent. Bolted the dash onto the support and done. I used a Vintage Air unit with no defrost since we had no room for defrost. Gutted out the center vent and made an ABS piece to mount the controls onto there along with a vent for the center. Used some strap to mount the column and used the stock pedals. It's tight but he didn't give me much to work with. The car is already painted and making a proper mount would have meant cutting up the firewall. It works but meh. I used an aftermarket stereo kit for the head unit and mounted the window switches and hazard switch where the AC controls went. He wanted to use his horseshoe shifter so I'm still working on that. Gotta figure out how to mount the gear shift indicator. Used the guts from a Tahoe 1997 instrument cluster to run the fuel, oil, water, and battery console gauges. Had Blackcat Customs make me new overlays to match. Used New Vintage USA carbon fiber looking gauges for the tach and speedo and a Chinese push button start/alarm kit he provided to turn it on. Hardest part was making the turn signals and high beam switch work. But I dun it. :) Made a plate to mount the wiper motor from an Astrovan and the wiper switch from the Camaro worked great for high and low speeds only. I could have wired up the washer as well but it's a cruiser and we're in west Texas so he don't care. Used a steering wheel from a Sonic RS cause it matched his RS theme. Fit like a champ and they make airbag "covers" (ie fake) for those years so we didn't have to hustle with a live airbag. Used a PAC controller for steering wheel controls and got everything to work on the wheel except for the cruise control. Too complicated for this build. Used relays also to control the headlamps and parking lights with the Camaro switch. All the controls light up at night as well. Bought a ebay link to an FSM for $10 that proved invaluable in figuring out the wiring. For the console I just welded in the center piece where the console and parking brake mount. The front of the console bolts up to the dash once its mounted. And finally for the outside used 98-02 F-body disc brakes front and rear, Fbody headlight controller along with same motors to control the headlight doors and a trunk release from an 85 Crown Victoria to make the trunk electric. All parts from the Pull-a-Part mostly for about what he would have paid for just an aftermarket RS headlight door kit.

Part two

[Cubsfan3493]

OP has obviously abandoned us, but good news is I have done it myself in my 1970 chevelle! Hooking up power is extremely easy, just run a power wire with a spade connector to one of the pins connected to the harness on the seat. I just hid the harness under the seat and ran that wire to it, then ran another spade connector to the ground side. Then make sure the power is running to a 25A fuse. I installed both the passenger and drivers seat and they fit perfectly! With the ability to lower the seat with power, I have more than enough room for my head in the car. And I am 6'4" so I don't think you guys should have any issues. I'll post a picture here in a minute!

[badbu68]

Wow, always been a fan of keeping the classic interiors, but have to say those look great! The console, the gauges, everything works, I guess it helps that the 2010 camaro has retro styling as well.

[CapSS92]

Yeah it was an effort but it came out good in the end. I'm just glad we got everything to work lol. It was fun figuring it out.

Sorry for the slow response on my last post, got a new phone and had a hard time tracking down the thread again. Here is my car after putting the Camaro seats in. They turned out great!155698

[slimjim]

Did you manage to fit the rear seat also?

[Simbad68]

Did you install the rear seat as well?

[dhutton]

I installed the rear seat. Had to narrow and shorten the back to work with minitubs. Also had to make some filler panels to make up for the seat bottom width. The front seats go so far back that the back seat really isn’t useable imho. But it looks pretty good and even folds down.

Edit: I just realized this is a Chevelle thread. My car was a 69 Camaro.
