C3 Seat Frame Top and Bottom Interchange
I have a complete set of 1974 seat frames and the top only set of 69 back frames. I like the look of the headrest on the 69 seat back and was wondering if they would bolt to the 74 bottom frames. Also is there any difference on the bottom seat frames from 68-77 if I order a 69 seat cover set.

The main issue I see with the seats is the covers. The base foam is the same in catalogs so the covers should fit. Different years use different weave covers. (ie comfortweave etc). If you go with the 69 backs then you would need to order a full set of 69 covers. The bottom cover should be the same for a 69 and 74. The Ec**** website lists the bottom foam as the same for 68-74 so I would imagine that the 69 cover would fit on the 74 base.
Check out other vendors just to make sure.
