Is there any members who have an E Body with a front bench seat ? I have a stupid question....Bucket seat cars have a square reinforcement plate under the floor pan for the "inside" mounting studs of each seat....

Do bench seat cars have those plate in place ?

My 70 Challenger was an original bench seat car and it has the reinforcement plates.

My Challenger was a bench seat car and it has the 4 reinforcing plates on each side like a bucket seat car.

 I had the bench seat, Just take it out and the buckets seats will bolt right in. All the holes are there. :burnout:

I think they are cool and you certainly don't see many of them.  Could be difficult to find as everyone trashed them out for the bucket seat through out the years . .
Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!

There's one on KIJIJI right now from a 70 Challenger with the matching steering column, looks to be complete in good shape, obviously needs new correct covers. He's asking $650, do you think that's fair?

Not bad really.  I've passed on a few for 400 and now I wish I had picked them up.
Had a guy come pick up a 440 I had and he said he has a complete seat with cover for 1000. 
I see them pretty often for 700-1000.  Wish they were cheaper but they are kinda hard to find.

650 might be a little much if it's missing the hinge covers and needs new foam and cover.
