2nd half of '71 model year Dodge Dart (no separate hinge covers)

both the red & black covers are recovered & missing the emblems

Possibly recovered in the past, but the upholstery style is 1971 Dart / Scamp.

Note the medallions;

So, since they may have been recovered, pull the plastic seat back off.

Do you see springs & foam or just foam?

Reference photo of an original 1971 (late style back / button) 1971 Dart Swinger, Dart Custom & Valiant Scamp bucket seat with a bare naked, powder coated bucket seat frame for the same (& other) applications.

It's springs then foam. Well, mouse nest, springs then foam!
Can you tell by the tracks what they may have been in? The pattern looks a bit different than the dart picture reference.

No springs '72 up, so later 1971 frames with that button style.

They have been recovered, so it could be older aftermarket or custom work.

Does anyone produce the 70 Dart bucket seat buttons, front and back? Or are they used on another seat?

Hard to find tracks might be worth as much or more than the seat frames. At least that was my experience when I needed one side for my 71 Duster
