Legality of no back seats?
I bought an 06 SS/SC with no back seats. It has seatbelts still but the bottom cushion/seat isn't there. Is it legal for me to shove someone back there in a pinch? I bought it pretty cheap so I don't want to spend money on them. Plus, I will never be back there

Legal or not please don't have a passenger back there and expect them to be safe in the event of an accident. Without the seat I don't think you could expect the seat belts to line up and function properly. Just get some seats out of an old base model and throw in there. I wouldn't think you would have to give hardly anything for them

Since you don't have a rear cushion the belts would not function properly. That would be classified as a modification to the restraint system and your insurance would not cover any injuries that occurred to your passengers in the event of a accident. You would be solely responsible. A rear seat is a lot cheaper than any medical bills.
