1966-1967 Chevelle Bucket Seat Headrest Mounts (set)
A 1966–1967 Chevelle Bucket Seat Headrest Mounting Bracket Set is an essential interior hardware kit required to add or repair factory-optional headrests on original Strato bucket seats. Headrests were exceptionally rare options in 1966 and 1967, meaning standard bucket seat frames did not come pre-equipped with these mechanisms. [1]
A complete set is designed to support both the driver and passenger sides (2 bucket seats). It provides the internal locking structure required to securely catch, release, and adjust the height of the notched, chrome-plated headrest rails. [1, 2]
What’s Included in a Complete Set
An exact-reproduction bracket kit—such as the sets manufactured by RESTOPARTS®—typically includes: [1]
- Heavy-Duty Internal Mounting Plates: Heavy-gauge steel plates that bolt directly inside the naked steel frame of the upper seatback. [1]
- Latch & Lock Mechanisms: The spring-loaded internal locking assemblies that engage with the notches on your headrest support posts to adjust the height. [1, 2]
- Escutcheons & Guide Bushings: Plastic/chrome tubes and outer plastic guides that sit on the top shoulder of the seat vinyl to smoothly feed the headrest posts down into the seatback. [1, 2]
- Factory-Correct Mounting Hardware: All required screws and retaining fasteners needed to secure the plates to the seatback skeletons. [1, 2]
Sourcing Options & Availability
Because these components feature a unified design across GM’s 1966–1967 mid-size line, these sets fit the Chevelle, El Camino, Chevy II/Nova, and Pontiac GTO seamlessly. [1, 2]
