I'm in need of '70 Roadrunner bucket seats. What years interchange if I get the correct covers new? Will E-body buckets be close? Thanks!

You can use 70 Plymouth B or E body seats. You will have to have the correct B body tracks. Otherwise the seats are pretty much the same. You could possibly use 70 Dodge seats as well. But I believe there are differences in the seat foam.

Correct on all accounts, the seat tracks are 70 only, repros were available, don't know if still being made though?

1970 & early 1971 A, B & E body bucket seat frames are the same.

For 1970, you could get black & white checker (houndstooth) cloth inserts in the B Body line . . BUT . . . it only came on the bench seat cars . . . I really liked the look, so that is what I had put into the seats of my 1970 Sport Satellite . . . I think they look great . . . anyhow . . if anyone is interested, I have lots of the cloth available - I bought wayyyyy too much . . . . PM if interested . . .
