Aftermarket or late model seats in Early B body cars

The Dodge Neon SRT4 seats actually are lighter than my stock 1970 seats.
These are non power. They don’t look close to stock which will turn off some people but they hold me in place and are quite comfortable. The only drawback is that they are from a 4 door car so they don’t tilt forward very far. It is enough to get in the back seat but I would have liked them to tilt more.

My daughter had a Neon but not the SRT4 but the stock seats, they seemed to be fairly comfortable.
 
I put Neon seats in my 64 Dart

Many people seem to feel compelled to voice their opinion to people that deviate from stock with the wheels and the seats.
There are a lot of closet purists that are stuck on stock.
That is fine if they want to keep their cars that way.
This is YOUR car, you are spending your money on it so it should be done the way that you want regardless of what anyone else thinks.
Some people object to a look that is so far from stock but these Corbeaus are a good looking seat that will hold you in place better than any stock seat. The seat-back is adjustable for angle and rear seat access. They do have mounting adapters but the early B body may not be on the list for what is available. You can cut and weld though so this is all within your skill level.
OEM seats in newer cars is another way to go but you'd sure need to make sure the seats are properly cleaned! Smokers leave behind a smell that will ruin the interior of your car. (especially if you don't smoke)
A buddy and I pulled seat belts from a late model Charger (for a retrofit into a Coronet) and he was disgusted by how dirty the belts were once he unwound them at home.
Yeap, I have Corbeaus in my Corvette, some kind of Scion seats in the Ranchero and Procar seats in the Coronet. Except for the Dodge they don’t really match but I’m still happy every time I sit in them. It’s better for my back and makes the drive more enjoyable for me.
 
I actually like the look of my stock seats but the SRT4 seats are more comfortable, they hold me in place, are lighter and the wife is more comfortable.
Oh yeah, they recline too.
 
I see on Summits website that ProCar has seat adapter brackets for Dodge and Plymouth. They aren't specific what models but they have different numbers for the Darts and Valiants. Procar 81342 Procar Seat Adapter Brackets | Summit Racing
if you read the reviews of those you'll see that those adapters are not plug and play and everyone has needed to modify them, mostly to lower them so their head doesn't hit the headliner.
 
2022 challenger seats in mine. I was interested in the rallye seat setup from Legendary but at the time they were almost a year out and these came up for sale in the meantime for 2/3 of the price.
