67 Camero bench seat swap?!?

Hey guys I have the opportunity to get these for 250, will they do my truck or lean back to far with a tank cab? I love the era appropriate bucketish seats. I have a 71 C10 with thank in cab.

That's a rare seat , I wouldn't do anything to it but wrap it in plastic and wait for the right Camaro buyer .

Too narrow by several inches - will leave a big gap at the door sills.
There’s a nice “strato-bench” of the same concept from a variety of full size and mid sized GM cars from our years 67-72 that’s a lot nicer but still too narrow...unless of course you don’t mind the gap.

Out of curiosity... what is one worth? I know a decent set of 69 buckets (because of the headrests and latches) can go anywhere from $200-600 and still need new covers.

I'd definitely buy it for the listed $250.

67-68 Camaro I've seen them before in the convertibles with column shift . I had a similar type seat in a 71 Dodge Challenger I bought in 1976 for $850.00 Clean as a pin , Drove that car for a year and then drove it to Texas and sold it for $1,500.00 to a car dealer to buy a Harley . Wish I had it back now !

I think you could pull $750.00 on the right day to the right guy . It looks to be all original covers and in great shape . It should have metal backs on it and plastic covers on the outside bottom "legs" that attach the seat back to the seat bottom . It's one of those parts that shouldn't be Canabalised.

Re: 67 Camero bench seat swap?!?

The back lean is adjustable by rubber stops, easy to make them lean more foreward.
