68 Seat Covers
I'm looking at restoring the interior of my 68. The seat was redone once, but I would like to put the houndstooth pattern in this. I see this pattern was for 70 and newer. Does it matter for size and fit?

Re: 68 Seat Covers
There really isnt a big difference in the seat foam and frame other than I think the 67's were made to pivot forward. Im sure I will be corrected if Im wrong. All the seat covers will work. Try board vendor Atheys.

Re: 68 Seat Covers
My 68 folds forward, I haven't found a new cover yet either.

Posted by member PICKMUP: No they are not all the same. 67-8 (DLX & STD) are different. 69-70 (DLX & STD) are different. 71-2 (DLX & STD) are different. That old seat cover looks like a 71-2. Your new cover looks like a 69-70. If that is true, there is about a 3" difference. They are not the same. You have to buy the correct year cover for the seat you are using. Here's a PUI cover I just put on one of my trucks. Fits great and no I didn't go to an upholstery shop. They fit so well, I think anyone can install them. I think you are trying to put a 69-70 cover on a 71-2 seat, and they wont stretch. I don't know who's catalog you are reading, but you can't mix them up. 67-8 are even different again, and so are the cheap seats with the thin foam, etc...but that is not your problem here. You need to know whether you have a Deluxe or Standard seat.... LockDoc

Re: 68 Seat Covers
On top of all that has already been said.
There isn't any vendors out there reproducing correct OEM 67-68 seat covers.. Just universal stuff.
