Bucket Seat Identification

[Robking]

These came with the car (68 coronet, piled in the engine compartment ), and I was able to bolt them to the floor using the spacers, so at least the tracks seem to be correct for b-body. They don't seem to look like any pictures I've been able to find online, however they could have been recovered at some point I guess.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

They look like 68-69 buckets. Covers are generic replacements.

Yes, you have to flip the lever to tilt the seat forward.

They look like 68-69 A&B body bucket seats, that have just been recovered at some point.

Thanks folks, makes me feel a lot better about ordering covers, foam, seat backs, etc.

I think part of what made me question them is how curved they are up the sides (red circle). Mr. Hall's (and most that I'm seen on the interwebs) look to have a much straighter edge and harder corner at the top. But that could be due to aftermarket covers.

Notice the way the covers were made on the back, and that bulged the foam for a rounder corner.

Makes sense, thanks again for your help!

Should have read the message. Are there latches on the seat backs?

Sorry misunderstood the question. Are you talking about the panels that cover the opening on the back of the seat? Unfortunately those are MIA.

The seat backs can be bought reproduction, or you can buy the parts to assemble them yourself. That's what I'm doing right now. The material comes with the covers.

Question, are the latch knobsin the same place for both 68 and 69.

I bet the thin metal tags are still intact. They will have a date of manufacture on them so you can verify. I agree with the others, they look like 68-69's.

Hi...would you be willing to sell both sets of seat tracks? Thanks for your consideration and stay safe!...Cornell
