does anyone know if the 1970 challenger bucket seats are the same as the 1970 cuda seats? i need a set of 70 cuda seats and found some 70 challenger seats. i plan on using the 1970 cuda seat covers. wondering if they are the same will i need to replace the foam?

I believe the frames are the same. Talk to Legendary Auto Interiors. I was looking at some E body buckets at a swap meet to go into a 71 Duster and Legendary had a booth there. I went over and asked if the E body seats would work with the Duster foam and covers. They told me they were the same frames and they worked out great.

I'm not sure if the frames are same or not, but the foam is definately different. The 'Cuda uses three "listing wires" in the seat while the challenger uses two.

Ken the frames are the same,...the foam pads will be different and the listing wires will be different,....but anybody skilled in upholstery can add to/carve the foam(if it's in good shape)...and add or delete listing wires,...I just performed this with a set of 71 Charger B-Body seats(same frame as E bodies),..turning them into 70 Cuda leather seats

While were on the subject. What if anything unusual about using 73-74 E-body seats to recover in and with the plastic 1970 style backs and covers?
