Procar by Scat. I don't believe SRT4 seats recline forward. Everything can be bought from Summit. From the reviews that I read, Corbeau's brackets suck and usually have to be modified. I had Hotchkis make seat mounts for my Dart. The Corbeau seats are LG-1's and are the XL version (fit up to a 42" waist). The regular ones fit up to a 38" waist. I also opted for suede.

Here's a pic of the Corbeau seats in the Valiant. These are cloth, but have good support.
'67 is an abbreviation of 1967 67' is an abbreviation of 67 feet They are not interchangeable.

I did these Procar Elites in a Dart in Black Velour, I would say they are more on the street side of the seat spectrum than race. They are a bit over 30lbs a side with brackets so they are not the lightest if thats a concern. They are comfortable but if you plan on eating cheese burgers every night you may find them a bit on the small side.

Frankenduster... I suggest that you attend a major trade show... such as the upcoming SEMA/Vegas show... there will be MANY mfgrs/distributors having displays with their seats... sit in as many as you can to determine what FITS you the best.. and how much your willing to spend. The comfort levels and lateral supports vary a lot.... so do the costs. You'll pay for what you get in quality.... and consider weight and custom matching upholstery (front and rear seats together).

You haven't lived till you tried vinyl low back "buckets" with only a lap belt, or better yet no belt at all. Just your left elbow clamping down on the door in a manual steering car. Wee.

Well at least the pucker factor helped you hold on to the seat.
I did similar in a 74 Dart taking US60 west outta NM. I did have seat belts but no one wore them back then, 1984.
Got real interested in better braking and handling that trip.

Worst car I ever had for this is this 67 Valiant 3 on the tree, manual steering with a vinyl bench seat.....one hand on the wheel, one on the column, one foot on the gas and the other on the clutch and no lap belts......you had to use suction to hold yourself to the seat....

What is the part number? I am looking at two different seats through Jegs. Are those seats good for full grown men? Lol

Greg...I have Corbeau seats in my GTX. You are absolutely welcome to sit in them and drive the car and see how you like them. Personally, I think they are every bit as comfy as the SRT seats in my Daytona. They have a "deeper" side bolster to hold you in on the tight fast turns too. As far as their mounting brackets, MAJOR modification to get them to fit . I learned some by getting them to fit and I would be happy to share that with you if you go that way. Give me a call, I will be around on Sunday and will drive out to your place if you want.

Corbeau GTSII seats here in my '69 Charger. Had them reupholstered to match the back seats to resemble a factory appearance. Corbeau also offers seat tracks for some Mopars which make them a bolt-in. These are the seats I have in the GTX....love them!

I went through 3 sets of Corbeau covers, their fabric is garbage. They were comfortable but sure didn't wear well. Tim
