I've seen them and they look alike.I would say get them if the $$$ is right.Chevy foams and covers and only a true stickler for perfection would notice,and he might have to take them apart to tell.

Re: low back dodge van buckets, are they the same as ours???

These are in a 77ish van.. I iddnt check the year, but if I get time I may head back out that direction early this week... it was also a stripper, may have been a service van at some point... but check your 70's vans... I have also seen a few buckets in jeep commando's pickups too that look pretty close, and are comfy too...
