Vette(s): 1973 Orange Metallic Coupe (orig owner), L82, 4 spd (WR), PS, (A/C & PW (I installed from wrecked 73)), leather, AM/FM Stereo, ran with '65 FI unit earlier & will again some day. 2023 Accelerate Yellow HTC Stingray

They look very similar to my '73 seats.

Vette(s): 1972 LT-1 convertible with factory air. 2017 Black Rose Grand Sport convertible.

Look like my 72 seats also, I wonder if that "TEX 75" stamp means 1975.

Is there a slit cut out of the top of the seat back for the shoulder harness to go through?

Thanks for all the input.I contacted Al Knock interiors with the picks and they got back to me with  in the hour  and assured me that they are 1972-1974 seats and foam. Just a heads up for others. Thanks
