Take a look at the recent post here by Cody as in general, the feeling is that Legendary has the best products, but we are still trying to determine which vendor we can get the best pricing from----- possibly a group buy is in order if we can get someone to put it together.

I bought a full set for our 66 Charger last year through Dantes in New Jersey (Legendary covers), and they were great to deal with.  Pricing was very competitive, and I was able to get everything through one source. 

One quick note, though.  They only make front seat foams for 70-71 E-Bodies.  The seat frames changed in 72, after which they became part of the frame itself.  You will need to find a shop that can rebuild the foams that are already there.

I bought Legendary covers from Dantes and had a local interior shop do the install. The covers are great and Dantes is good to do business with.

Although Dantes is great to deal with, I bought mine straight from Legendary...

The great thing about Dantes was I could get everything, covers, foams, carpet, etc, through one source, and at the time it was cheaper than Legendary, but I don't know if that is the case now or not.  If you are looking only for the seat covers, then you can shop around.

Dantes is having a very attractive group buy sale through the end of February.

I bought my '72 Challenger black coachman grain seat covers for front and rear directly from Legendary. I'm very happy with the quality, but one word of caution is that the shipping and handling charges were fairly steep ($75 I recall).  The package was not that oversized, so this seemed very high.  I bet you'd get better S&H pricing from Dante's.

Your 74 is going to take a special headliner...not the cheap perforated ones.  Dante can order you one in the correct material.  A perforated one will fit fine...it just won't be the correct material.  It all depends on if you're concerned with origonality.
