I would!!! What people don't understand is with the bench seat in my car I can't snatch up the seat belts tight because I wouldn't be able to reach the shifter. Therefor I have to leave the belts loose because with the bench seat I have to move the shifter closer to the firewall for it to go into 2nd and 4th because it hits the seat. So now I'm leaning forward with loose belts grabbing gears. This is why I just bought factory buckets for the car so I could keep the shifter back where I need it. But now I can just keep the Kirkey's and life is good for me
Just fabricate a notch into the seat frame, have it upholstered over and put the shifter where you want it...Been done for years
