I had Camaro seats in my 72. I made spacers out of 2" square tube to get enough height outta them. Didn't look to bad, I did paint and cap the square tube. But still not really the best setup. Bolts had to be kinda on the long side. Still sat quite a bit lower than the stock bench.

I recently swapped over to '01 silverado 40/20/20 seats that could just as easily be mounted without the center to be just buckets. Much better height wise and I like the integrated shoulder belts as well.

Just stay on the junkyards if you are looking for nice seats.
