    Not to hi-jack

    BUT
    If you look at my profile ,their are a bunch of pictures of my bucket seats,

    I forget if their 63 or 64 GM buckets ,but they are the (one year only,I believe)
    that tilt in as they tilt forward for more room to get into the reat seat.
    Hope this helps.

    I like the stock seat in mine. There expensive and the new owner may want the original instead of the upgrade. So id at least save it till i sold the car.

    A bit sacrilegious but I ran a set of buckets out of a 66 galaxy (I think 65-67 are the same), they fit great, looked good and they&#8217;re more plentiful and cheaper than the gm ones (they also don&#8217;t have any logos).

    Mine look a lot like yours
    and
    has the chrome that goes all the way around like yours,
    What year is your buckets?

    Like I said above ,
    mine tilt IN and UP for ease in getting into the back seat...
    I was told that they are one year only 1963 or 1964,I don't really remember.
    Do yu know ?

    I'm guessing 64-65 Impala? I think they had the chrome all the way around the top where nova and chevelle just up the sides.

    Mine are 64 pontiac. They do pivot in as they go forward. The roll bar makes it hell getting in the back seat, though

    My Delivery has 69 Chevelle SS buckets (black), and I don't really care too much for them. I'd go with the LOW BACK, earlier style, buckets,... like Squirrel has used. Stay away from anything HIGH BACK, they just don't look right. Butch/56sedandelivery.
