1970 Chevelle/Nova Bench seat interchange question

mbxlesney · #1 09-26-2007, 03:36 AM

Does anybody know if the 1968-72 era Chevelle Bench Seat will bolt in directly to a 68-72 Nova with no modifications. I have always been under the impression they are interchangable.

Any help would be appreciated.

My Hollander manual only lists seats through '65, but does list front seat tracks 68/70 and these are different.
Hope thats some help.

Just got a mint bench seat from apparently a 1967 Chevelle-it does not have a cut-out or rise in the center of the frame and my 68 Nova has that cut-out to clear the hump
All the dimensions (lenght, depth, height) otherwise are bang on

Thanks Ty....appreciate the info. Is the cutout you are refering to something that can be modified on the Chevelle seat to fit the Nova?

I do not know
I can only assume that if someone wanted to get creative with the mig or oxy/acet torch you could rebuild the frame to have the line continuous (if you understand what I am saying, and then reapply the repo cover.
Fact is I really don't know
There are more autorities on the topic out there I am sure
Good luck
