Hello All,
Thinking of swapping my stock bench, which needs recovering and frame repair for a set of Procar buckets in my 69 Roadrunner. My Question is do the adaptor brackets fit well, or do they need modification? Also how does anyone who has their seats like them, and pics would be great of them installed! Looking for something that will still look good (IE, not totally out of place in a classic car) while givine more comfort and a little more support

The only experience I've had with them is I put a set in a customers 67 nova, every thing fit but the seats sat about 2" to high.


Have a great day

I put this style of Procars in my wife's Beetle. I am 6' and 180lbs. In my opinion they are cramped and very uncomfortable.

Thanks for those responses guys, I would be leaning towards the Classic series or the pro 90, the rally do look a bit cramped between the bolsters

I looked at procar seats as well when I wanted to replace the bench seat in my 68 Coronet Wagon. I settled on a pair of 2004 Altima buckets w/ DS power and heat. Then I slipped a 2014 Chrysler 200 console between them. I used the Altima tracks, drilled new holes and added one 3/4" shim to each seat. I couldn't attach photos from my cell but I will later. I was surprised at how little effort it was to fit everything.

I put Procar in my '72 Charger in place of a bench. I do like them a lot. I did have to make my own brackets because theirs would not fit right, period. I do not have any pictures on this device but I can add later if you want to see them.

I would love to see them, I am hoping the brackets work in the pre 71 B bodies, if they do it wont cost really much more than having my bench fixed up.

I put a set of Rallys in my 68 Charger 4-5 years ago and like them alot. I am 6'1 /200 and they fit me just fine. The brackets did fit the floor ok but needed some adjustment by cutting\welding atleast one of the corners to fit perfect and not make the seat tilt to one side. They placed the seats too high for my likings so I lowered the drivers side bracket as much as possible to avoid rubbing my head against the headliner. Not sure if this is the case for the other types but something to be aware of.

This is the Procar seat I used in my wagon. I did not like procars mount so I used one from Wedge(http://wedgebrackets.com/plymouth-belvedere-66-67-seat-brackets.html)

I will say these required serious modification to their mount structure.

These photos were taken during the mock up. Before I installed everything I replaced the old carpet after cleaning up the interior. Thanks for the compliments and help posting the photos. Guess I need to work on that.

'72 Charger. These seats not only recline but have lumbar supports. They are comfortable for sure.

I put procar seats in a 77 Omega we had that came factory bucket seats. The seats sat very high with the procar brackets, and the are narrow. I'm 6'2" 220lbs, they were uncomfortable. My girlfriend on the other hand who is 5'8" 120lbs, loved them
