The 73+ seats look the same but in fact, are not. The aftermarket seat covers for the 69-72 chev truck or blazer buckets do not fit on the 73 & up seats correctly. The difference is in the actual frame of the seats. The distance between the top of the seat cushion and the bottom of the seat frame is about an inch or so shorter on the 73+ seats. The seat mounts are completely different and are not interchangeable without some fabricating.
