Hi everybody:

Is there anyone in here that has put Procar buckets in their 68/69 B Body. I'm hearing stories that the adaptors don't fit?
 
I used them on a bench seat car, I had to drill a couple of holes which me be expected in that case. On the pass side I also had to massage the floor some to place the adapter in what seemed like the correct spot. It’s been fine since then and I didn’t mind hitting the floor with a hammer since someday a new owner will likely replace the floor anyway.

Thanks. Mine's a bucket seat car but I never got the seats with the car 68 Coronet.
 
I ordered the Procar Rally seats for my 69 Coronet which came with factory bucket seats. It came with seat sliders that bolt to the sest bottoms and that bolts to floor adapter brackets. The floor brackets did not line up with the holes in the floor. Also, the bolt holes in the sliders did not line up and have to be modified. I ordered the Proxar Pro 90 1300 seats since I didn't like the tall, narrow side bolsters. I have the same problem with the misaligned slider bolt holes.

On the other hand, I have installed bucket seats from TMI, Inc. in my El Camino and Corbeau buckets in my 70 Cyda without any issues at all.

Photo is of a slider with a bolt installed in the round hole at one end of the sluder showing misalignment at the opposite end. No way to screw the bolt in without elongating the slot.

Check this out, I made my own brackets for some Procar Scat seats to install in my '70 Charger from some rectangle steel plates, to install the seats on my original bucket seat tracks:

I was just thinking about that myself. I could talk to the guy who's putting all the panels on my Coronet I'm sure he'd do it.

Richie, any chance you could measure the bolt spacing of the 8mm bolt holes on the bottom of your Procar seats (disregard the adapters and sliders)? I was told by a Procar support person that all the Sportsman series seats have the same bolt pattern, he worked there 10 years and they haven't changed. He said other models of Procar seats might be different bolt spacings, though.

On the Sportsman series, the front-to-back measurement between the centers of the holes on the bottom of the seat frame is 10.75", and the driver-to-passenger side-to-side measurement is 13.5". It'd be great if you could measure and share. Thanks!

No the car isn't here now
 
I wonder if the A Body adaptors would work. They actually fit the A Bodies

Can you measure the bolt spacing on the bottom of those Procar seats? My Scat Sportsman seats have bolt holes about 10.75" front-to-back and 13.5" left-to-right. I figured out a way to install these without adapters in my '70 Charger, using the Charger's existing seat frames, and 4 rectangle sections of steel with some holes drilled. I will have an update to post in Grendel's project thread soon. If those Procar seats have the same bolt spacing, and the '68 Charger seat frames are the same as the '70, this recipe should work.

That's the way I would do it if I could but I have nothing yet no seats no tracks nothing. I bought the car as practically just a shell. When it gets back here from the shop the body will be perfect and I can start on everything else after paint but like I said I'm trying to think on witch way I want to go. Spend a fortune of original seats or do something else. In the end the car is going to be awesome so maybe I shouldn't cheap out when it comes to the seats. I wish it was 2010 instead of 2025. :BangHead: We'll see. I'm just trying to get all the info I can get.
