: 69 seat compatability?

I found a 69 with a NICE interior....rought exterior. If I bought it, it would be for parts.

I'm assuming that the front seats will go in my 71 as long as I use the entire assembly?

What about the back? Are they the same width? What about the mounts?

Thanks--------------->NICK

Front seats will work fine...just pull out both sets of back seats and compare...

That's the thing...the 69 isn't mine (yet) I don't think the guy would want me yanking his seats out in his back yard :)

Front seats will work. The rear depend on the type of armrest. Your '71 should have the armrest panel with the ashtray built in. If you look at your car there will be a filler panel beside the seat extending to the package shelf so that the top and bottom cushions are the same width to allow for the armrest panel. If I remember correctly a '69 will have a wider rear seat with small armrests screwed on to the side panel. It will be very evident if you look at your car and then compare to the '69.
