Floyd,

I know that there are some B Body Mopars that are running seats out of a Valiant/Dart in their cars. 12" shorter and 10lbs lighter than the original seats.

Another trick is to gut the passenger seat leaving only enough metal to maintain it's shape.....for bucket seats only.

The reason I mentioned it was because the Ford Thunderbolt and Hemi Dart had van seats in them. I am sure chevy had the same cheesy light weight van seats available in the sixties.

The Hemi cars had seats from a A100 dodge van.

The sad truth (part sad) are Viper seats....

Sad because they still say Viper on them (I am having leather "overs" made that say DP #24)

Sad because they are heavy as sin.

Nice becuase they have slots for twin shoulder straps.

The Viper embroidrey really bothers me....
