Re: bucket seats
to mount any of those seats depends alot on your common sence and ability think// just a matter of drilling some holes reenforcing under the floor pan and ability to make the seats level and at a comfortable height for you to drive

Re: bucket seats
 MOUNTING THEM IS THE LEAST OF MY WORIES. GO TO A JUNK YARD & SIT IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT SEATS TILL YOU FIND SOME YOU LIKE & FIT YOUR BODY WELL. I USSUALLY PAY ABOUT $50 OR $60 & ABOUT $300 TO HAVE THEM RECOVERED IN ANY MATERIAL OR COLOR YOU WANT.  JOHN

Re: bucket seats
these are all new seats sold thru summit I believe the top one and the last one are universal seats not out of anything and the middle one is out of older style jeep.

Re: bucket seats
I put a set of the universal racing type seats in my 68. mounting them up isn't hard at all. But they do take up quite a bit of room. If I had to do it over again I would go with the jeep ones. But those high back racers are mighty comfy.
