1968 GTX Fender Tag Interior Seat Codes

[Jarhead71]

Can you guys help me figure out these fender tag codes.

a5: Center Front Seat

b4: Bucket Seats

What is the center front seat option? Does this mean the car came with a console?

Thank you

Bucket seats with the "buddy seat" in the middle, floor shifter 4spd, no console as I read it
.

Like that except with a 4spd.

No console. The "center front seat" is the rather (in)famous "buddy seat" that sits between the front buckets.
With a '68 GTX, you get one or the other - console or buddy seat.
As much as most folks like the console, I like the buddy seat just fine in ours - gives me an arm rest to go with
the one on the door.

My 68 Charger 4 speed was ordered without the console or buddy seat and man I wish it had the buddy seat. It would give me an arm rest like you said. My dads 66 has the full console 4 speed with the armrest and that is so much nicer than the hard console or nothing there at all.

I bet it'd be simple to bolt one in, you think?

Think you need the brackets welded on the floor pan to mount it to and I didn't wanna add those and get that involved.

Bet that was a pretty car.

Actually you can just set a buddy seat on the hump and it's 90% stable and 100% functional (EDIT- as an arm rest).
Because of the offset hump, it does lean just a bit.
If you get the brackets and bolt them to the buddy seat, it won't tilt as bad and you can defer the welding (I cheated and used self drilling screws) until you feel like it.

There should be dimples in the floor pan to locate the mounts. At least there are in 73.

Reinforcement plates added underneath when you bolt it up would be sufficient I'd say.

Yup. Dam that's beautiful. Thank you so much for the pics. Does anyone have a light blue buddy seat for sale?
