Bucket seats question

Going to go with bucket seats.
Does any one have any experience with the Procar Scat seats?
I can get them at the swap meet for about half price.
Not sure if I can find good ones at pick-a-part that wont need re-covered.
thanks.
Kim

I bought the low Procar Scat low back ones from Speedway. Made my own brackets. They are pretty good and they fit under the back window nicely.

Re: Bucket seats question

that seat looks nice and has high bolsters to keep you in the seat on corners etc. make sure you sit in one to ensure you like the fit. some guys like a flatter seat than others do. personal preference. do they also sell the adjusting track or is that gonna be pick n pull? a cloth insert would be nice as well, less sticky seat syndrome on hot days and less ouch factor as well when getting in on a hot day if parked in the sun.

My Procar seats came with adjustable sliders and tilting backs. Vinyl covered, yes they can get a little hot after awhile. Leather or cloth would have been better.

Re: Bucket seats question

The ones they are selling at the swap meet come with everything.
Was told they were bought and then returned.
Some are still sealed in the original packing. At half the price I see on the net it seems like a good deal. I know to check real carefully for any defects and it is hit or miss on some colors.
Going to try and get out to pick-a-part but don't really want to pay for something to be reupholstered as the cost just skyrockets.

Those are REALLY nice, Kim. If you can get them at half price, that rocks!

Will do.
Going to Pomona this weekend.
They can be hit or miss on what they have there.
Hoping to get some.

The newer buckets have a lot more adjustments than the bench seat and with my back I need that to be able to get comfortable.
