    If it's for the 32 in your avatar photo, 64/65 mustang buckets might work good.

    If you decide a bench is in your future an early 90's Chrysler mini van middle seat is a common used item which works well.

    I have used a glide seat in the past. Very comfortable.

    If you go with a bench, agree with the others. The early `90's Chrysler products (Dodge, Plymouth or Chrysler) mini-van middle seat works well. I just installed one a couple weeks ago. It was out of a Plymouth Voyager. Bolted it right to the floor (no risers) due to 3.5" chopped top. Also, if yours is a Henry steel 5-window coupe, you have the shelf in the back wall to factor in. The mini-van seat will fit under the shelf (if required for leg room) if bolted right to the floor. The backs of the Mustang seat will not fit under the shelf. If yours is a steel 3-window or gl*** (either 3 or 5-window) choices are endless. A friend of mine has the Mustang buckets in his 3-window and they fit/look good and are comfortable.

    I like the seat in my coupe, but seriously, early Mustang seats work well.

    On my friend's chopped 32- five window we used a Caravan middle seat, took the bottom brackets off and used a similar Ford van's lower mount and slide mechanism; cut off some unneeded parts and turned it around backward. The slide adjuster is now in the front and the angle is just about perfect with the stock floor.

    If I had a seat like yours , I would try to wear it out too fast.

    I have the same seat in my 3 window. Only quirk I have with it is the back needs to be a bit taller IMO.

    Go with a bench seat, buckets will touch in the middle anyway. Easier to finish off the interior with a bench seat.
