hey ken, yeah im not sure if anything but a roadrunner/gtx/satelite of 68/69 would fit? the bench seat for these seem to be pricey so that would tell me probably not but maybe i will ask over on forbbodys only im sure someone would know, ill let you know what i fould out.  thx bruce

hey brad, so your saying there is a difference between the 68 and 69 bench ? if so that's good to know because i probably would have bought a 68 if i had found one. thanks again

Hmm. I have the bench/bucket in my Challenger and it seems much lower than my father-in-law's bench in his 68 RR. Mine is the bench bottom and bucket backs.

Sorry I meant lower in the headrest area, seats are more square than an e-body seat

Ah, that makes sense. Yep, it's true.

ok thx again that kinda sucks as it narrows it down even more, but have lots of time to find one or i guess buckets are an option.    bruce

I was thinking about thisa last night, and figured that the earlier cars would have what is called a Lowback bench seat, thanks for clearing that up Brad :2thumbs: I do not care what everyone in America says about you my friend :wave: :roflsmiley:

When you call them on the phone, mention you have a small restoration shop with a couple of cars on the go...ask them if they can do better on their "list price"....you never know...

Fine Lines for sure. I started with in-line and will never go back. Also, I may actually switch out the stainless lines I have installed for non-stainless. They look nice but are such a hard material you may have a difficult time to get them to seat and stop leaking.
