Has anybody used the Procar low back bucket seats in their 66-70 B body? If so what mounting brackets did you use? Looking for feedback on the seats and mounting brackets.

I have the similar ones with the headrest and am using their brackets. Had to make my own holes but was well worth it. The seat can be removed without getting under the car, can also change the ride height or the angle the bottom of the seat rides at.
I'm not sure of the model number but they are identical to this one.

Hey Mike,so the new brackets didn't align with the factory holes in the floorpan? Did your car have factory buckets?

Well I replaced the floor pan and to be honest I don't remeber if those are made for a bench or buckets but no. I think the fronts lined up but the rear mounts were off.
I can double check this weekend and shoot you a pic or give you the measurements.
I just finished installing those very same seats (with headrests) in the Dart using ProCar's mounting brackets. I had to drill holes and add reinforcing plates for the inside mounts because the Dart was originally a bench seat. During the down time I also changed out the carpeting, added Fat Mat, installed XV Engineering retractable 3 pt seat belts, and welded in subframe connectors. Basically took a weekend project and turned into over a month.
Finished up last Sunday and drove around town most of the morning and afternoon. The ProCar's are very comfortable. They're a huge upgrade over the prior non-Mopar buckets that the PO had installed. As Mike said, there are three height adjustments and I used the middle slot.
I got the seats from Classic Industries using their discount, and got the brackets from Summit Racing (cheaper than CI and free shipping).

BTW, if you get the B body brackets and your car originally came with buckets then the holes should line up. But even if the car originally had a bench; underneath the car are two reinforcement brackets factory welded to the inner rocker. The inner holes on the brackets have to be drilled out (the outer holes would've been drilled out for the bench) and they should align with the ProCar bracket. Then its just a matter of using the bracket as a template for the inside holes.
