View Full Version : 04-06 GTO Seats in a 69 Camaro/Firebird Vert?

I have been wanting to redo the seats in my 69 Firebird Convertible and really like the 04-06 GTO seats (both being Pontiac is a nice plus). I have seen a couple of pictures of the front seats install in a 69 Camaro coupe and think it was a 66 Chevelle coupe.
There are no real details of what all was involved on getting the front seats installed and those seem to be the easy part of the project.
Has anyone done the rear seats?
Does anyone have pictures of them installed?
Any details on steps to get the front and/or Rear installed? (coupe or Convertible)
Thanks
Ray

I did my 64 chevelle a while back so Ill try to recall specifics. like you mentioned the fronts are no problem you may just need to cut original mounting points so that they sit flat and use some square tubing if need to shim it / level it.
as for the rears I do recall needing to take off covers and cut the structure to fit your car. I also cut the center piece in two to spread them out . they were a bit narrow for my chevelle. and build a new center section if needed

I put some GTO seats in my 69 vert.

The front GTO buckets are too wide and too tall to fit, although some have taken the power motors out and heavily modified the seat rails to make them fit. I finally wound up using BMW M3 convertible seats. Very comfortable and a snap to install.
