1st post/question

Greetings,
New to the forum and have a question. For a 68 Cutlass S with buckets/console configuration, is it possible to change that config to a bench seat/column shifter?
thanks

Yes but why? Most do exactly the opposite.

So his 'cup holder' can sit right beside him of course!!

Welcome to the site. About changing the configuration? May I suggest just finding a project car that's already configured that way? You'd also have to change the seat tracks (which are welded in), seats, add center seat belt/anchors, carpet, speedo, steering column, trans shift linkages to name a few things. A lot of work for a car that already is fantastic as a bucket seat car.

Thanks everyone,
Haven't got a vehicle yet, still looking for the right 68 Cutlass. Call me crazy (many have) but I prefer the bench seat, just seems they are not too many out there. At any rate, great info on this site.
