Re: bucket seat ?
I think the seats are the same but the covers are different bt. '69/'70 and '71/'72. Not 100% sure the seat tracks are same.

Re: bucket seat ?
Bill, I believe that the foam is different for 69-70 vs. 71-72 bucket seats, but I know the tracks/brackets should be the same. Trevor

Re: bucket seat ?
I think they ^ are correct Bill, but there was also "auxillary buckets", and yes, those are considerably wider. Maybe somebody has some pics to help you.

Re: bucket seat ?
I might be talking out my @ss right now, but weren't there "utility buckets" along with regular buckets? Utility buckets being the lower grade of the two. I agree about the brackets all being the same.
