Aftermarket bucket seat recommendations?

I want to replace 1970 Cutlass Restomod's original front bench seat with two aftermarket buckets with head support that won't look too out of place..manually adjustable (recline), lower to floor, further back and more supportive for my 6'5" height. I understand I may need additional brackets and some modifications/welding/bolting.

Recommendations? Thx!

Lightbulb Procar Seats

This is what I used in my 64 F85.

They also make this same seat with a headrest. and they are a bolt in, no welding..

My car had Procar Rally seats in it when I purchased it, but they were not wide enough for me and the bolster made it difficult to get in the car. Procar also offers matching rear seat covers..

I also used a set of the seat extenders from Year One
https://www.yearone.com/Product/1955...hoC7ywQAvD_BwE

These extenders are also bolt in and cheap.. now no reason to pay for a tilt wheel

My car is now easy to get in and out of and the seats are very comfortable.

Good luck,

Thirdcoast

Another option is '04-'06 GTO seats. Alot of pro touring & resto-mod guys use them in A-body & F-body cars; they are available in manual or power configuration but you'll mostly find them powered. You will have to fab up some brackets to mount them. Just do a google search and you'll find many examples of how to to this. I've even seen the '04-'06 rear seats cushions used with some minor surgery to cut down the seat back height, but they look really nice in an early '70s car. Here's a pic.
