Cuda bucket seat frame
« on: March 07, 2013 - 02:46:25 PM »
Trying tp put the pieces together on this puzzle. I have a 71 cuda that had a bench seat and want to put buckets in. I have bucket seat frames that have a chrome button on the side to release the backs. Are these correct ?  I also have a set of the cast covers that i know fit the 70 cuda. These seats came with the plastic backs that cover the hinge. Im a bit confused as to what parts are the ones I need. Thanks

70 has the cast side L shaped covers with a hard back panel
71 and early 72 does not have the cast pieces as the hard back comes down over the pivot bolt
72-74 had a small hinge cover and the release knob is more on the back side and no hard back
