Mounting Sebring Conv Seats in 72 Swinger ?

[Ted Johnson]

I'm building a 1972 dart swinger and I have purchased 2000 bucket seats from a dodge Sebring convertable. Dimensions seem to be good, any suggestions? I've looked up probable wiring and this is good but the mounting is a problem. Is fabrication necessary or is there a more economical way to deal with this?

Fabrication is necessary. I'm pretty tall so I cut the seat rails down to within an inch of their lives, then welded on angle iron mounting pads. In addition, I cut out the bench seat mounting pad humps and welded the floor as close to flat as I could. And finally, since you will need to reinforce the floor, I welded 1/8 x 3" flat bar across the mounting areas on the floor top and bottom.
