Rear Bucket seats?

I'm replacing interior seats (bench) . Would like to put 2 front buckets and matching rears in with a console. Any thoughts about this. I want to upgrade from the stock buckets.

The front buckets are an easy install. I would think that modifying the rear bench frames into buckets would be the way to go and then fab a custom console to run up the center hump.

I've seen a few 68-72 chevelles with newer GTO seats and custom consoles. Should be about the same for an Olds.

What oldcutlass said is probably the best way. Some early 60's corvette seats, or mid 60's b body mopar seats may work as they where smaller. It's a cool look, I always wanted to do that. I first seen it in the 1970 Buick GSX prototype. Man if this doesn't scream 70's then I don't know what did. Such a wild car, love it.

Mid 2000's GTO seats are frequently swapped into 68-72 GM A-body cars by the pro-touring guys. The fronts are pretty straight forward, but the rears are too tall in stock GTO form and will need to be cut down to fit properly. I think most guys have removed material from the lower section of the seat backs so they don't stick up too far. Here's a couple pics installed in a Chevelle.

That looks like a very snug fit in the back. I’d hope the rider was petite.😁 Interesting no hood tach on the concept GSX, what a beautiful car.
