Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone out there can tell me if any bucket seat besides a 68-69 will work in my '68 Coronet ? I've heard that maybe A body seats are the same, or '67 Satellite buckets are the same with the exception of the flip lever for the seat back. Does anyone know the differences for sure and what will or won't work? Dimensions, seat tracks, etc. I appreciate any input. Rob

I know that 67 seats are not the same. 68 A body may be the same, I will have to look to be sure. I have a 68 GTS and 68 Coronet R/T but don't plan to go to that building today. Even if 68 A body seats will work, I think there will be differences in the seat tracks.

67 A and B body buckets are the same, at least the backs are interchangeable.
My 67 b body seat bolts are 11” front to back.
Side to side are 13 3/8ths side to side. Hope this is of some help.

68 A&B body are the same frame with different tracks. Same is true for 69 A&B seats. 68 & 69 frames are the same except 69 have headrest provisions and 68 don’t. 69 frames can be used for a 68 without issue. 68 frames can be used for 69 cars but you will have to give up the headrest or modify it to accept headrests.
