Seat Help

[Claudia]

Okay, getting ready to start my seats and need some knowledge.  Here are the front seats that came with my car but were not installed in the car (thankfully).  Can anybody help identify the year and make / model of these seats?

[Cuda Cody]

I have no clue, but I would guess mid 80's Mopar.   

[Claudia]

Yeah, I am stumped on these.  I am trying to make '71 Cuda seats for my car.  Current seat tracks that are on these seats I know are not right but the measurement between the bolt hole locations (where the tracks mount to the bottom seat frame) are correct for my new seat tracks.

seat tracks look like something from late-'60s early-'70s GM intermediates (A-bodies Skylark, Chevelle, Cutlass, LeMans)
are all 4 the same height?

the seats are close, mid-model year '71 A,B & E-body seats went from the cast metal hinge covers to the seat back style you have with the included hinge covers

for the half of '71 & '72 the seat relese button was chrome - then they went with black, around the same time the seat springs changed from attached to the seat frame to being molded in the foam - for '73 & '74 just the B-bodies used the plastic backed bucket seats

got a pic of the foam, from the bottom or w/o the seat back?

Yes, all four corners of the tracks are the same height.

I do not have a picture from the bottom or without the seat back but could get one.

Here is the new foam that I have which I believe to be correct for '71.

Can anyone confirm?

[Cuda Cody]

That foam looks 1971 to me.

[Claudia]

Well, that is good!  My next question would be, can I take the covers and foam off of the bucket seats that I currently have and install my new tracks, foam and '71 covers on the seat frames and not encounter any issues?

The tracks look distinctly AMC to me , I just removed AMC seats from a Gremlin & They had the 2 bolts at the front & single bolt at the rear .
If the frame bolt holes line up then the Mopar tracks should be no issue to replace the AMC ones assuming the width is the same
As for the foam & covers no clue it would depend if the frame is the same size & shape

[6bblgt]

AMC may have used the same vendor - here's are reproduction GM ones

foam loooks correct - the question is where the springs are on your seats (in the foam or attached to the seat frame)

Seat tracks that are on the seats now have two holes in the front and two holes in the back of the tracks.

I will try and determine that tonight.

[MikeMikeMike]

Yup. I just did the seats on my 71 cuda and the foam looks the same to me as the foam you pictured there. Get ready to wreck your fingers. Mine are still sore.

I stand corrected . . . two holes in the front and one in the rear.

He are some pictures of the bottom of my seats.
