Basicly, nothing will be a direct bolt up seat for the luv. You'll have to build brackets to get a set to fit. Try and find a set of buckets that are small. I got a set from a Geo Metro and they looked tiny sitting in the Metro. Once i set them in to my truck, they looked massive! I had to make brackets at all 4 corners of each seat. I might have about 2" of headroom but they're pretty comfortable.

I used a set of Buckets from a 85' Toyota Tercel. Bolted in almost perfect, has to build a bracket for inside rail though. Plus they are pretty comfy, and i am going to put seat covers over top to make it look real pretty.... 8)

I am currently trying to put the seats out of my 300zx in my 77 Luv.
Looks like they will work with a little effort, but I have other interior work I need to do before I actually put them in.
