[i'm only half-fast these days. ]

You can buy a pair of brand new seats in era appearing trim from Speedway for less than those Legendary seat covers. All new seats, new foam, new springs, new frame, including tracks. No 50+ year old foam, tracks, frames, springs etc you still have to "fix" after you cough up for the covers. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Low-Back-Vinyl-Bucket-Seat-Passenger-Side-Black-w-Seat-Mount,491573.html or https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Pro-90-Series-Bucket-Seat-Passenger-Side-Black-with-Seat-Mount,491566.html Are they a direct fit? Nope, you will most likely need to mod the supplied tracks. Will they be "correct"? Nope, but I am not a resto guy either. And if you want to step up to a more supportive seat that might not be 100% era appearing, well here you go. Just a hair more than the covers https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Procar-Rally-Series-Seat-Passenger-w-Frame-Slider-Mount,485331.html

The legendary covers come with new foam , they have to to get that shape. As I said I'd need to park my kester in one before I'd even consider it. The factory buckets leave a lot to be desired , as have most Mopar seats over the decades , even the one in my 98 Ram isn't much better than what came in the muscle car era. running up my post count some more .
