george 53 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The 70 Chevy Impala i believe, comes with a bench seat you could start with. Of course the upholstery pattern is different, but with your skills I'm sure you could get it to work. IF you need the "Strato-Back" bench seat(it had bucket seat style BACKS on a bench seat) Alan Raab has them, from the 70 Olds Toronado( I know caz I sent him the master for it) that could also be used. The Strato Backs were used as an optional seat from 68 t0 about 71. The Pontiac Grand Ville had them as standard seating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
