    Bucket seats

     



    I need a pair of bucket seats for a Model A coupe each one no wider than 20 inches. Must have sliders attached. Prefer low backs but will consider high back.
    Thanks - Jerry

    Check Pontiac Fiero's - my recollection is that they are very narrow.

    High back seats look odd in these cars.

    Also - but not low buck, look at one of Glide Engineering's offerings - and what I'm using in my '31 Roadster is the 50-50, but their Universal might fit.

    By the way, once you pay for re upholstery, repairs and any mods to the frame, you might just be equal cost wise to a good after market seat

    I bought these seats for a 1963 Nova - look very nice and fit the "period" of the car. They come with the sliders too.

    Check out front buckets from an early (1990 -1992) Geo Tracker. Firm, great side bolsters and very comfortable. Head rest comes out.

    Try using a early Ford (60's) T-bird bucket seat. I used them on my 29A.

    I bought these seats from JC Whitney. Yes they are generic, but the width was perfect for the narrow coupe interior. They were also black "pleather" which I was looking for. I just re-mounted the seat gliders that came off of the old AMC Javlin high back buckets (man were they ugly.) I must have looked for a year for a set of '61-'64 Thunderbird or Mustang seats, all I found was eiether junk or somebody wanting to get rich off of some extra parts. These seats were very inexpensive and are built very well. If you need extra lumbar support for your back, I do not suggest you get these seats. As you can see in the pic I had to get the blue lumbar pad for my 5 hour drive one way to Pontiac, MI. for the Woodward Dream cruise. With the lumbar pad the seats were great.

    I've got a pair of low back buckets out of an '88 Bronco II..... Very well build factory seats with recliners and sliders..... Saving them for some future project, just no idea what it will be just yet!!!!!! Think they would be great A Bone coupe seats.......
