Thanks. Does anyone have the info about those hard-back seat pieces? ie: how attached and regular vinyl underneath? links? Oh, and I do see some pics of (2-doors) with the regular (low-back) buckets, with or without the 'detached' headrests, in models with a console. IF I stayed with the 'split-bench'/column-shift setup then the matching front/rear covers readily available, but - - -

F body seats should fit in there.

Suppose I'll search for more interior photos. I remember my first E-body, a '70 Challenger, 318, with column auto, 7.25" rear and split-bench with separate high-backs. They seemed 'weird' at the time, but being only 2-door cars, the only seat (design) options were those split bench-buckets (with high backs) or the separate (high-back) buckets. Years later, my '74 (318) Rallye car was a bit more unusual. it had column shift, but, the separate high-backs, so installing a console much easier. I fabricated brackets and bolted to floor hump and everything slowly fell into place. All conversion parts came from '72 B-cuda but I did leave the column stock. I only removed the 'guts', including shift lever, so the 'lump' was still there.
Should mention a story, once again, about what happened when I was setting up my throttle and (2Bbl. carb) - way back in '79, as part of the conversion process. When driving on a highway by-pass, with a slight downhill grade, doing about 60, still in city limits, I wanted to see how the tach responded and if my idle would drop enough. I was locked into D, having used the ratchet shifter correctly, so merely pressed the side button to release the lock into drive feature. Then, a gentle forward nudge of the T-handle (should) get the indicator and linkage into the N position.
Anyone with one of these early slap-sticks knows how they should work. Anyway, again, still at about 60 (mph), and a quick 2 seconds after moving handle forward, the car suddenly felt like it hit a sand trap and slowed rapidly - just as I looked into rear-view mirror. I immediately saw white smoke billowing out the back - so knew right away what happened. I instantly 'flicked' the T-handle rearward - to get tranny back into D.
Needless to say, I was 'sweating bullits' - wondering if it caused any permanent tranny damage. I had that car for two more years with no ill-effects. That 904 was one tough tranny - not to mention the U-joints - considering i had wide and sticky Kelly Supercharger tires. But, I did set up the linkage a bit better, so, yet again, learned something from my own mistakes.

Yeh, pretty cool. That's my identical interior - except for the carpet and standard floor shift - 3spd? Rather unusual combo, you'd think, with a yellow exterior. . Would expect black or white.
Pretty sure individual buckets would be the high-backs so if anyone can find a pic of those.
Thanks
