Has anyone done a seat swap from a modern Challenger into a 70-74?  I'm not having any luck finding any information on this.   I'm looking at a set of 2016 Chalenger leather highback seats on Craigslist and they look way more comfortable than my broke back originals.

I think they sit higher and wider so some floor pan modifications would probably need to be made. I saw a thread with Neon SRT seats and they looked real good.

I put '11 Challenger seats in my '74. Biggest thing was modifying the floorboards. The outter portion raise up, so, I cut those portions out and welded in a flatter surface. If you don't modify the floors, the seats sit very high. BTW, they are much more comfortable and can be fully adjustable and heated.

Thanks for giving me some idea of what I'm in for.  I'm also looking at these aftermarket seats.  They're much more expensive, but I can get the stitching in orange.
