Bench seat out buckets in? - Page 2

Back in those days you COULD order an Super Sport with bucket seats or a bench seat!
However if racing in Superstock I would strongly recomend the Kirky Aluminum seat . Purchase the mounting kit and padded insert. Or have your dad "fitted" by an upholsterer.
They may look cool & weigh nothing, but they're uncomfortable without some interior padding for support.
Some of the SS/AH guys cut the top of the passenger seat to have a clearer view of the passenger side, and to have easier access for seat removal.

As far as the seats are for that car I think as long as it is corp and looks closes. In my case my 66 chevy II is no longer legel to run in SS/LA unless it is a ss with bucket seats and badges on the quarters grill and rear deck.

Tom, does that mean if I run buckets in my stocker then I have to have the SS badges, too? Those SS decklid pieces are crazy $$!!!!
