Re: Low back bucket seats

Have you looked at the Procar seats from Summit?

Re: Low back bucket seats

I put the procar seats posted above in my 76, factory buckets dont recline...these do and slide. The brackets bolt right in, only have to drill one hole. Got them at summitracing, all info in thread below

How is the craftsmanship on those seats? Nice material?

Re: Low back bucket seats

Thanks, I like the seats alot, I had factory seats but driver only slides and no recline, pass side doesnt lide or recline....very uncomfortable. These slide recline and have a map pocket on back, plus brackets only require one hole to be drilled all other 3 holes use factory locations. You can buy them uncovered if you want to have them custom covered in your choice of material.

Re: Low back bucket seats

They do make 3 different low back seats http://procarbyscat.com/Seats but the ones up there look better then the other two.I have seen people take 98+ Lincoln town car buckets and remove the head rest.

Yes, the brackets will work just like those pictured above. They are the same brand (Scat) just a different series.

Re: Low back bucket seats

The suburban high backs recline and both slide too..I thought I wasn't crazy about seeing the headrest in the window..but I have to say I think it looks ok..and I like the idea of not putting my sons head through the back window in a colission.

Yeah, that seems high till you price everything to build them. To do it right, you would have that much in a set.

Re: Low back bucket seats

Summit sells brackets made for the Procar. Has anyone used those before?

Apparently seats are the only thing you allowed to get all your money back from them. On trucks none the less too. Seats are just one if those things you can ask an insane price for and it's tolerated

Re: Low back bucket seats

I saw a nice pair of buckets and console in a mid 80's fullsize Blazer at a junkyard the other week if anyone in Ga is in need .I can give you a name and number for the yard and point you in the right location too. They had quite a few good square bodied trucks in there with lots of good parts but nothing for 67-72 .
