Hello I just recently bought a 1975 datsun 710 wagon. And the seats in it or done for they fell apart. I was wondering if there is a replacement or something off another vehicle that can work. Please let me and thank you for your time.

Lots and lots of seats will work. Just be sure to save the factory seat rails, so you can bolt the replacements seat onto the floor.

 

Head down to pick-n-pull and have a look see. Smaller, lighter seats fit best, but even big Honda Accord power seats can be used.

 

Bucket seats from these cars have been used:

* Pontiac Fiero

* Ford Escort

* Yota Corolla

* Nissan 240SX

* Honda Civic

* 240Z

* Nissan 300Z

* Subaru GL

Suzuki Swift GTI

 

Aftermarket bucket seats (racing seats) are also popular: Recaro, Forza, Bride, Cobra, Sparco, Momo etc etc

 

some simple cross pieces will let you bolt most seats to the factory rails, like this

Does the 710 have this? Some USA Datsun seats from 1975, the passenger seat has a cutout on the bottom to clear the catalytic converter. If you raise up the passenger seat a couple of inches, most will clear using spacers (stackes of washers) on the inside rail

These are from late '90s early 2000s Subaru station wagon or estate car. Used the stock seat rails welded to the underside seat frames. But leather seats, electric up down, forward/back and tilt with hand adjustable lumbar support. Great for long trips, as you get tired you can fine tune your comfort. Bolsters on seat are not so big you wreck yourself getting in and out. All things equal between two choices, if one has the adjustable lumbar support get it.

I just finished installing a pair of BMW E30 Sport Seats in my '72 510 wagon. Good Fit, looks period correct, has good support and only required a bit of drilling on the factory seat brackets.
