Great pics Rod. When did this style of seat end? Was it killed with the body style change in 73?

How hard is it to find a set of those seats and how much should I expect to pay?

68, the advent of the Blazer prompted a bucket seat configuration redesign. You really need to pay more attention

Depends upon condition. Sometimes you find them real cheap, but not often. I've seen them anywhere from $300 up. By the time you get new foam and OE-style covers installed you'll have upward of $700 into them. If you have to ditch the stock bench, they are the only seat to put in a 67 or 68 IMO

Dodge and international made seats pretty similar you can sometimes find those for less $$ but the seat frame is different.
