Due to installing a IROC T-5 trans in my 68 I'll either notch the bench ($$$$$$$) or use some Camero buckets at hand. Has anybody out there intalled 80's Camero bucket seats and what type of riser did you use/manufacture? Pictures would be appriciated.

I have seen the shifter modified to work with what you have.

I don't have any interior shots left of my '72, but I used 80's Camero buckets. Electric on the driver's side.

I used a real backwoods method for the risers. Countersunk some big bolts through a 2 x 4 wood frame (one for each seat) that "hid" under the seats. Painted them black, of course.
