Bucket seat question

Will a 71-72 bucket seat cover fit on a 70 bucket seat? I didn't know if the shape was different to the point that they wouldn't fit or wouldn't look right.

Re: Bucket seat question

It is different,slightly.The 69/70s taper to the top more.I think it`s just the back foam,not the frame.

Re: Bucket seat question

So a 72 seat cover wouldn't work then?

Re: Bucket seat question

You could use the 71/72 back foam.

Re: Bucket seat question

I used 71 foam and covers on a 68 seat, took a bit of metal work to get the
shape right...

Re: Bucket seat question

I covered a set of 72 blazer seats with '70 style covers with no problems, but I did add 1/2 inch layer of foam to the face before I put the covers on.
