Does anyone know what car i could get good looking bucket seats and a console out of for a 77, i see lots of threads about it but none for 4th gen =[

I like the way this interior looks in this 76 but i don't know what seats and console its from =[

Not sure where the seats and console in the pic came from, but there are several options for buckets and a console that you could use. Any '73-77 GM mid size car that came so equipped would work. That means, El Camino, Monte Carlo, Buick Regal, Pontiac Gran Prix, Olds Cutlass. Just find a good junkyard that still has some older vehicles, or hit the swap meets. Good luck.

4th gens are a pain in the ass to convert from bench to buckets because of the rear floor boards and the way the seat belts are mounted. You could go to the wrecking yard and find pretty much any seats and console you like, you just have to fabricate your own brackets so that they will mount to the floor in a level position.

The seats in the picture appear to have been re-upholstered so I don't know for sure, but they look like Camaro buckets. The console I would guess from maybe a Lincoln or Caddy.

Hey, thanks for the help guys when i do my seats I'll be sure to make a How-to on a bracket for converting it :smileyb:

Cool. :beer:

Let me stress again though, to anyone going the bench-to-buckets route...be sure to make custom brackets/mounts so that the seats sit level...sort of a pet peeve of mine. I've seen too many unintentionally reclined seats, lol. There is currently a '75 Camino at one of the wrecking yards over here that someone converted to buckets. All they did was drill holes in the floor and bolt the stock brackets directly in at a tilt. The back of the headrests are pretty much pressed up against the rear window tray. It looks horrible and it's bad for posture. I bet that thing wasn't too fun to drive on a long road trip.

so if i put the seats level ( which i plan on doing cause it's a pet peeve of mine to, everything has to be perfect.) it wont touch the window correct? cause if it does that i don't even wanna bother doing it.

It shouldn't. If the seat is level and touching the rear window then it is probably mounted too far back.

okay, thanks for the advise. i think I'll be off to the junk yard tomorrow wish me luck ha ha.

The back of the bench type seat is bolted on the seat belt mount, I believe.
Wont you have to re-attach the belt/harness mount? Trying to remember how it's mounted.... I'll have to look tomorrow..

i do believe you are right, but i can't remember and am to lazy to walk out to my car
