I am trying to get back to factory buckets in my 1970 roadrunner. I bought what I thought looked like the right frames because they had the correct latch and back plastic covers but evidently not.
I bought new legendary upholstery for a 70 charger with factory buckets because I like the look of that pattern better. I also bought new foam for a 1970 charger.
The seats that I bought I now believe were from a cordoba or something as they had a bracket welded on for the shoulder belt to hook up to the seat back. (I removed this bracket no problem)
The trouble I’m having now is the back part of the seat was assembled with thick strong foam. But the new foam I bought from legendary is very thin and weak looking. I did some research and realize that the seatbacks I purchased didn’t have the springs like a 70. I have since bought new springs and I will need to adapt them onto the backs I purchased.
Wondering if anybody has a picture of the factory seat back without upholstery so I could see how they have the springs mounted on to the frame.
As always, thanks for any and all help
