No pictures currently. But doing a 57 with 64 Impala buckets. Outer bolts on seats bolted right up no issues. Inner required a little spacer welded to the floor and a simple bolt through the floor, after drilling and tapping the spacer once it was welded to the floor

pretty good actually. We are using a 62 Impala rear, and welded in the 62 package tray also. WE used a 62 Fairlane center console. Car is in paint right now so it will be a few weeks before I start interior install

Glide is a good choice for a stock style seat that reclines, If you go with buckets make sure there wide enuf to fill the area good. Just go to the salvage yard and take a look around.

My STOCK bench was re-done by Gabe's (15 years ago now... so it's dated). It's the most comfortable car I own other than my daily driver.

Tracy would be the one to tell you what could be done to modify a stock seat?? Or your upholsterer....

Not to hijack the thread, but is that an electric bench seat Greg?
