71 seat cover on a 68 bench frame - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

spike38 · 11-16-2010, 01:13 AM

I was looking at different seat cover, To reupholster my 68 bench seat with.
And I was wondering if there were any problems, Or differences. Between a 67-72 bench frames.
after all, If you look for just a 68 cover, It's slim pickings.
Also, I was looking for some more resources, With a better selection.
I would appreciate any help.

I just want to know if the frames on 67-72's are the same.

And some possible other sources

The frames are different between the 68 and 71 years. They are higher in the back so the seat tracks are different, also. I am not sure if the covers from the 71 can be adapted easily to the 68 as there will be extra material.
