new challenger seat questions, for an old challenger - 01/14/10 03:47 AM

I like the look of the seats, and I am thinking of getting a pair for my 71 challenger if they will fit. How are these for comfort? I am looking for a seat that I can sit in for 500 miles at a time, if I decide to. Has anyone put these in an e-body yet, do they fit? Will these seats fit and still leave enough room for the console? I am 6'2" tall, do these seats sit any higher than the old ones? thanks for any info.

You might search for old threads. I remember seeing one not all too long ago.
I "thought" from memory the seats were abit too tall, was being talked about and your head would be in the headliner

Almost all seat retrofit requires modifying the tracks to get them to fit. Most often they sit too high unless modified, especially powered seats.

If you use integrated belts make sure the track welds are perfect and the mounts are super sturdy because the seats have to restrain the driver and seat in an accident.
