Will '08-'10 seats fit in a '70-'74 Challenger?

My '73 Challenger project has no interior. I am designing it as a daily driver, so I want the most comfortable seats that I can find.

I have never sat on a real '73 Challenger seat, but if it is anything like my '73 Mustang seat, I will spare my spine the trouble. I can always buy "original" seats down the line if I want them.

Will those nice seats from the modern Challenger fit in my old Challenger? What about the back seat? Has anyone tried to make the swap?

Anyone's experiences / recommendations associated with swapping in ANY seat would be helpful.

Thanks!

The front seats can probably be modified to fit, you'll need to fabricate brackets to get the seats in the right place and set to the right height. There is no chance that the rear seats will fit unless you are willing to do a little sheet metal work and fabricate new kick panels.

Its possible. The seats in my 75 scout are from a 2000 ford explorer, and the back ones even fold down. You will just need to play around with it.
