Need some help identifying seats

Trying to figure out exactly what year these seats are so I can order some new hinges and hardware and possibly new skins. Any ideas?

Based on the seat pattern, they're 76 vinyl seats, but basically they're 70-78 seats. 70-78 seats are pretty much interchangeable. Only the seat covers varied.

Cool, so all of the hinge hardware and whatnot is identical? I need to get the big chrome bolts for the hinges (ruined mine removing them) and the ***** for the seat track adjuster thing.

Seat back differences

A minor difference with the seat backs. Some will have the cut out for shoulder harnesses and some do not.

Here are a pair of original 1977 seats so you can see the seat pattern.

Take a picture of the back of the seats as well, will help us help you to identify them.
Best of luck with your search.
