I Recently picked up a set of 95ish viper seats on craigs to put in my charger. My interior was already done and complete but i can never keep anything original and constantly changing things. So i sold the hole interior and now im going with the viper seats. My question is has anyone put a set in a Charger or any b-body, or even any other mopar. I can already see im going to need to make some kinda bracket i just don't know how im going to go about this. I think im gonna use a set of 68-69 B-Body tracks to raise the seat up a bit so there is my start.

Any tips and tricks are helpful

Thanks

Did you say 70 Charger?
I'm looking to change the seats in my 70 as well. I'm thinking something more like from a late Challenger though. Seats from 4 door or 2 seater cars dont always tip forward much since they were not designed for REAR seat access. You might be able to slide the seat forward enough for rear seat access though.
As far as fabbing brackets, Not a big deal if you have the 3 tools I use: Sawzall, welder and grinder.
I put IROC Z28 seats in the FrankenDuster because they had built in headrests and they reclined. I had to modify the mounts, but in the end, they looked close to stock 73-76 A body bucket seats.

You can make anything fit but how's it going to look? What are you going to do about the back seats? I guess if you had them covered to match the rest of the interior it wouldn't look too bad. As mentioned I doubt they have the "flip forward" feature so you will either have to modify them or make one seat flip forward like a ramcharger seat. I've seen guys use padded race seats up front in a stock int and it looks terrible. Don't be that guy.
