I've been looking for some bucket seats to replace the bench seat in my '70 Dart. A guy I know at a body shop had these laying around and gave them to me. Can anyone tell me for sure what vehicle they are from? I'll post a few photos.
Thanks!
Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full. I just drink straight out of the bottle.

They are a 71 or 72 mopar bucket seats. The 70 had a different back (they were 2 piece at the seat button). 73's had a soft back. They were re-upholstered since thats not a stock mopar pattern (I've never seen a pleated headrest). If someone can ID the tracks that will help narrow it down

The seat tracks are definitely the big question for me. By any chance does anyone have a '70-72 A-body seat that they can measure the track on and give me the distance between the mounting studs front to back and side to side?

The tracks are definately 72-74 E-body as the outside flat plate on the bottom gives it away as to being E-body. Also another indication of being 72-74 is that there is not a cross over wire to unlock the inside track as there would be on the 70-71 seats. The covers were probably installed by an aftermarket company. Either way they are a good score for free. The tracks wont work in an A-body as you need the correct tracks to be higher on the outside track to fit the floor. The backs also indicate 72-74 as they are of the one piece design where the 70-71 have metal covers that hide the hinge area. The closest cover I looked at in the Legendary catalog is for the 70-71 Cuda Gran Coupe leather seat cover with the seam a couple inches from the front of the bottom cushion, but those original ones didnt have the ribs all the way up the headrest so hense the aftermarket reply. Hope this helps. Greg

Good luck with that.
Most E-bodies came with bucket seats so they are plentiful and not worth much. The A-body bucket seat tracks on the other hand tend to bring $240-300.00 everyday of the week when you can find them.
