C5 Sport seats in my '67

[capbuster]

Had a chance to pick up a set of these, all power for a great price.
I searched a little and found some discussions about these and a few people have used them in First Gen's.



I didn't find any information regarding what anyone did to modify the mounts or rails. Looks like I may need to trim the front mounting 'foot' to change the angle. Or, mount the front location down off of the seat platform, maybe a bolt back into the front of that portion of the platform.

If anyone has done this I would really appreciate some detailed info.

Didn't Frank use these in Prodigy? Front and rear? Looked great!

Can I ask what a great price is for a set of these seats? I want a set for the Monte.
Thanks,
Scot

I got this set for $400, eventually they will need some recovering.
Dual power sets seem to be hard to find. I've seen just the power tracks going for ~$200 each.

Hope you have some luck in finding a set.

When I put the buckets in the Regal I just hacked everything off so it was just the flat slider attached to the seat, then I made my own brackets that were at all different elevations (gotta love GM floors) so the seat was level and then welded them to the rails.

I wouldn't bother trying all the BS of making those mounts fit your floor with spacers and washers and drilling holes, just make mounts to fit your existing holes

Where did you get the seats from?
THanks,

Mine ? They were some import seats that were in a Malibu that my buddy bought, I had them all rebuild

The C5 seats I found locally, a friend who knew a friend who knew...

Just got lucky, he wanted them gone and I jumped on 'em.

Congrats. I can never seem to find a deal like that.
