Bucket seat questions??

Morning All, are high back bucket cores all the same under the skin? I have some a-body seats that I’d like to recover with b-body skins to use in the Coronet. Would that work? Also, are the seat tracks compatible?

Bucket seat frames are the same A, B or E-body within in the same model year. ( one exception is the 1971 model year, at some point they stopped using the 1970 style frames & went to a different version)

Tracks are body type specific & will interchange for some years, but there are differences.

So, what year seats & what year Coronet?

Thanks TA, believe the seats are 72' a-body (black one in the pic), trying to use them in a 70' Coronet. I'd like to use the correct 70' seat cover/padding if it'll fit the core.

Yep, that looks like a '72.

For '72, the back side seat frames did not have the spring basket that the older 1970 - early '71s had, the '72 are just open because they changed the foam & the wires inside were then internal.

The 1970 B-body bucket seat brackets are a one year only deal, but there is a set for sale in the '70 back B-body parts section here & these newer frames do have the same bolt pattern on the base for the tracks.

The long style seat button was used till February or so of 71, March and later was the small button.
