Default Anyone ever put different seats in a F body?

I know the TA seats will work in camaros but is there anything else that would work. How about the back seat? Could there be any modding to the rear to make a set of seats fit out of another car?

You need to search for this one. There have been many threads with different seats from Corvette seats to GTO seats to aftermarket leather seats or racing seats. There is a vendor (6LiterEater) that sells a few different seats for our cars as well.

The rear seats should be a direct swap between a trans am and a camaro. i've removed my T/A seats before and there are is 1 bolt (13mm i believe) on each lower seat pad and then 1 bolt on each side of the lower part of the upper rear seat and then 2 T30 torx bits on each side for the seatbelt holder. i'm 99.9% sure upper and lower seats for a trans am are a direct bolt in for a camaro and vice versa. only the upholstery and foam padding are different. the seat frame should be the same.

There aren't many late model cars that have a bench seat like fbodies.

Why not get the rear seats covered in material similar to front (after market, or retro fit seats you are getting)?

I remember seeing a convertible T/A that had racing seats meant for the front, but custom fitted in the back. I 'll try to find the picture.

Get a sewing machine, some fabric, memory foam, a staple gun and GET TO WORK!!! I feel like MKIV Supra rear seats would work w/ modifications.

anything will fit in anything with enough know how and fabrication.

Like others said, you can make your own seat cushion and have someone cover it for you if you want to pay for it.
