Pretty much any seat can be made to fit, just don't expect to use the original holes on the floor. We made a C-body bench fit in a B-body without much trouble and lots of different buckets work in different applications. Make sure you measure the seat base and stud location first. It's also a good idea to measure the location of your old seat before you remove it.

Yeah you can do that, it'll take some more work and engineering to keep things safe...

for the most part your swap is any 1967-1976 A-body seat (Dart,Demon, Dart Sport, Duster, Valiant, 1967-1969 Barracuda)...
Hope you have some money Wildcat ain't cheap...(probably about the same cost to just buy the skins and have your current seat rebunned and reskinned...)

Also because of the wheelbase issue and location of the extra 3 inches the seats in the Duster/Demon/Dart Sport are a bit 'thin' so the rear seat passengers have some legroom (yeah, right...)

hey thanks again guys! well wildcat hooked me up on a few items the other day, i got a plastic glove box liner, glove box light & switch assembly, 2 dome light covers & a ton of instrument cluster light assemblys for 20.00. so i have no prob paying 50.00+ for a good seat.

anyways yay! i have a proper glove box w/ light! much better than the carboard one i had w/ no light. another small battle won!

i'll find a good looling 67 or newer low back bench and rear to match thx guys, next is dash pad, i found a ton of nice ones but wrong colors so i'll prolly get some plastic paint and paint one to match.

If you have a blue interior, I have the rear seat for a four door in pretty much mint condition (came out of a 72 dart). I'm just down I-5 in Redding.

The four door back seats are more rounded on the corners to make it easier getting in and out of the car.
