Default Re: Converting '69 Chevelle from Bench to Buckets...

You need the Brackets.
You just can't drill holes in the Floor.
You have to sit higher up front then the Floor,and the brackets allow this.
I'm sure they would come with a Template ,and that will help too.
Get the brackets.

I think you will find that the outside rear is the only existing hole that you will use. If you bolt the seats to the floor they will be low at the front and lean inboard.

I may be a bit off topic here, but why convert to buckets?

A friend has a very nice 69 L78 Chevelle with a bench and Muncie. The shifter handle must be 2 foot long with a big "dogleg" bend in it. Its very different then the 'run of the mill' 69s that you see with buckets.

Of course, its your car and do what makes you happy.
