I have never been to crazy about the swivel seats.The car came from the factory that way.Is there a gm bucket seat that will bolt in without changing things and have some what the same look as if it is a swivel seat. Just wondering

Looks good, Anthony! The G.P. seats are cushy...much like those on the Cutlass Salons.

Re: Which bucket seats
Years ago I had a set of buckets and console out of a 1974 Cutlass Supreme Salon - I replace a bench seat in a 1973 Cutlass Supreme with them. The door side mounted the same as the bench seat and I took the console side mounts from the donor vehicle.

To answer your question about swapping seats, there is no other bucket seat that will just bolt in without modification. The most obvious would be compensating for the rear outer seat track foot that mounts to the floor on swivels vs atop the belt retractor on std buckets (as Limey knows all too well with his swap). Never really thought about it, but it does beg the question whether the seat track rails from swivels could be removed and attached to std buckets?

Actually I have the Belts from the Gran Prix also as these mount on top of that, much like the Bench seats used to do so I hope its all I need HOPE AND PRAY LOL

Re: Which bucket seats
Those seats look great in your car. I've got very similar ones in my Grand Am and they are much more comfortable than the swivels just like you said. Didn't realize they had different mounting points for the seats. I figured GM would keep most of that standardized but obviously not. Learned another something new today.
