I'm not sure if they bolt right up or if there is fab. required, but say goodbye to your backseat because they don't recline.

I have them in mine as well. The do recline but nowhere near what the original seats do. They also fold forward just like the stock seats did to allow access to the back. I don't have a back seat anymore so it's no big deal to me. I bought mine with the seat tracks attached and they wouldn't line up with the stock studs. I swapped the vette tracks for the Firebird tracks,made some spacers and it's been all good ever since.
