Anyone have a set of 1970 seats for sale?

I want to remove the originals in my 70 Cuda (for storage) and get a new set so that I can cover the seats in leather.

Last month Tom at Rocket Resto in Olympia bought about 3 or 4 sets of 1970 seats from me.  I think his plan was to sell them.  You might reach out to him. http://www.rocketresto.com/

I called Tom@pocketresto.com but so far, I have not gotten through.

I see another reply, but they are in Canada. Not so sure I want to work with a package from the border.

Thanks all.

I'm moving on with old seats.
I'm buying all the new parts that I need to build the seats from Jegs.

How can I post Photos if they are requiring a URL?

Thanks for the help.

I think I found all the parts I needed to start the build.

That looks like an aftermarket replacement frame from OER, if it is, be sure to check the mounting holes for the seat tracks. I recently purchased one for my '70 Cuda and found that they manufactured it with the threaded track mounting holes 5/8" wider apart than stock. With the tracks installed, this caused the studs on the seat tracks to be too wide apart to fit the stock floor pan holes. Unfortunately for me, I didn't find out until after I had a shop install new foam and upholstery. I am just getting back into the classic car hobby and I am paying for my education. :-[ You can bet moving forward I will test fit everything before starting any finish work!

Yes, that is a OER frame. I bought it from Jeg's.
I'm still waiting for the passenger frame on backorder and other misc parts.
Thanks for the tip. I bought the seat extender from Year1, so that I could have more leg room. That might help me with that.

I also found another thing on the frame. The top seat has Seat Stop Bumpers on the top and the impact plate on the bottom. They do no align but still close. I think I may have to drill another hole to make them aligned.
Also, you have to drill for the back cover, they are not there.

I'm supposed to get some of the parts today.

Ooh, I gotta go take a look at one of those.

I'm 6-4, but I think I'm tallish in my torso more than my legs.  Even so, the factory seat adjusts and feels fine to me, though it's all the way back.  No room to grow.  As I age, I actually think I'm shrinking a little, which seems really odd.

@CudaHead   Just to point these out, I know it's probably too late for you, but.

Just now grappling with getting old huh?   Old men shrink.  Odd, but inevitable.

I measured the original seat, and the Seat Stop Bumpers are off like the new frame.

I did find a great set of seats, but they are in Colorado. I asked how much to ship, and I was told $950 to ship.
I would have loved to have your set of seats, but shipping is way too much.
