marshall.pixley 01-31-2010, 04:44 PM I was browsing craigs list and i found a set of BMW seats from a 3 series and was wondering if they would fit in my el camino? they have the original mounts. i am willing to drill the floor because i know i will have to. i currently have a bench seat. also if i did install these what do you guys think i could get for my bench seat? it is in good+ condition. El Corvino 01-31-2010, 05:04 PM I see no reason why the wouldn't fit. If they are super wide or skinnier than our buckets then you will either have a bit of space between where the console goes or they'll be tight against it. Should fit, though drilling will probably be required. marshall.pixley 01-31-2010, 05:17 PM awesome! now how much do yall think i could get for my bench seat? El Corvino 01-31-2010, 05:35 PM unless there is someone local that wants one that color... not much. Buckets > bench. I had a good condition blue bench that I tried to give away and after 3 weeks it found its way to curb side. marshall.pixley 01-31-2010, 05:38 PM ok. thank god black is a bit popular.... just hoping to get a little bit to off set the price of the BMW seats (not exactly cheap) so ill post an add in the garage sell section when the time comes. just lookin for a base price. El Corvino 01-31-2010, 05:50 PM oh yea, you have a 73. I assume there will be more of a market for a nice black bench seat out of that year opposed to a 5th gen. You should be able to sell it. marshall.pixley 01-31-2010, 05:51 PM awesome! elamott 01-31-2010, 05:58 PM I have a 78 Elky and I put in a set of buckets from a 98 Accura. It took some time making the mounts, but they fit great and look great. Good luck elamott marshall.pixley 01-31-2010, 06:00 PM thanks! since it has mounts already i think it will be a cinch.... (famous last words...) tsunamigregg 01-31-2010, 07:38 PM You can make almost anything work; my 85 has a power split bench from a Cadillac Deville. To make it work, the brackets are chopped lower to the floorpan to get the right height in relation to the 71 Firebird dash. My 79 has Proseat aftermarket buckets on custom brackets to fit in with the 95 Monte Carlo Z34 dash and center console; the steering column and seats both had to move over to the right about an inch or so to fit the dash correctly. It takes time, but whatever look your going for can be made to work in the end marshall.pixley 01-31-2010, 07:40 PM yeah i was thinking buckets with a kilduff center shifter | ||
