Bucket Seats For Rear?

Has anyone tried to put buckets seat (like the front ones) to replace thge rear seats. I don't think they will fold down all the way but will they bolt in?

Never tried seats like the front, however I have seen where the back was two buckets and each side folded down independently. These were stock seats so they fit and folded perfect. I know a junk yard here that has two firebirds with these seats in them.

could work, I think you'd want to flatten out the floor area where the rear seats sit, then you'd have to figure out how to mount it in there (shouldn't be too hard) just gotta make sure you could have enough leg room since the hump will keep the rears from going back very far. may be a lost cause before you even start, but hey, good luck to ya.

It was just a thought. I saw the cars that have the bucket rear seat but I figured if they fit, why not try to put more comfortable front seats their. I know you wouldn't be able to put the track in their but I may just try it when I get my new front seats.
