Bucket Seats Foam - 1971 B Body

[71SandbugCharger]

Hello,

I received the leather seats from Legendary, and they had the bench seat foam, but I got to do my own for the front bucket seats.

Has anyone used either of these websites for the foam?

I don't know about those sites specifically, but I did bucket foam that came from PUI through another vendor, it wasn't bad, I think I paid around $210 3 years ago, so those prices are not that far off! Only issue I had was the profile on the bucket seat backs was not as prominent as the originals so the headrest area was a little deflated, so I used my original which was surprisingly in good shape.

My biggest issue with those foam items is that they list them the same as 71-74....which I don't think are at all interchangeable 71-71 / 73-74

That is true, thanks!!!

I'm going to ask Legendary when I see them at the Chrysler Performance West show at the end of this month. I'll bet they say, send the seats in... but, I want to save the ton of money and do them myself.

I also bought PUI about 2 years ago and am pleased with the overall results. I will x2 that the profile is not as prominent and it made the head rest look a little deflated. I added some soft foam around the top to plush it out as best I could (Factory did the same thing with my originals).

Here is the link I bought mine from. I think I paid 230 for them 2 years ago but they have free shipping which is pretty good considering the size of them.

Classic also has them for sale at $129.00 and you can usually find coupons for them but they show to be out of stock. Not sure how much shipping would be but I am sure its not cheap.

Here is a pic with mine finished out. My passenger is slightly fuller than the driver but both turned out nice. This was my first time doing this.

You re-covered them yourself? They look very nice!

I did and thanks! I am not positive but I think the main difference between the 70-71 is that the back frame has springs and 72-74 seat backs do not have springs so the padding is made differently. However the covering process should be the same once you get the padding on.

Maybe they say 71-74 because you don't need the springs with later models and they assume you take the springs out???

Not just that. The shape of the foam is diff to to fill the diff covers!
