I put C5 seats in my '70. Wasn't a bolt in but it wasn't too difficult. Just need to fab an adapter plate then drill some holes in the plate, use you '69 tracks and few spacers and you're in business.

Doutfull, The 79-82 seats are terrible for comfort. The do look good, but are not ergonomically designed. Al

Disagree. Have a set in my '75 and drove cross country twice. Very comfortable seats for me.

Not from where I sit. I have stock seats in my 68 and my 80. The 68 seats are easier to get into, but after about two hours, I'm ready to get out and stretch a while. I can ride all day in the 80 and be comfy.

I seem to fit well in C5 seats. Havent tried C6 yet.

Tell me more about the C5 seat conversion/install...

What kind of metal did you use? any isssues with moving the seat? process?
where did you find your C5 seats?

Thanks,
Ron
