Jeep high back buckets or A100 van seats?

funwithfuel said

are we grading simply on looks or functionality? if it were me which it is not I would go hi back simply for the safety features. I'm old I don't heal as quickly as I use to, that's why I would choose a Hi back. some Yahoo soccer mom rearends you at a stoplight cuz she's smacking her kids you'll realize what I'm talking about. folks in the past have literally lost their head with low back seats when they were rear ended.

Kind of both (looks and function) if you understand what I'm thinking about.

The A100 seats usually wound up in pass cars for a specific application - factory hemi cars. You generally don't see them in '70-up cars and admittedly, they do look out of place here. But again, not enough to rule them out as a choice.

The Jeep seats are remarkably similar to the van seats. They're both fixed and have very similar dimensions, save for the back.

I'm inclined to use the Jeep seats. As I explained at the top, they're more comfortable and lighter than the van seats. The main issue is how to mount them. I've been thinking about a set of Super Stock seat brackets but then they're no longer adjustable.

I realized that the upholstery that's on the Jeep seat in the pic may be throwing people off. I have new black vinyl seat covers for them which basically match the interior of the car.
