Does anyone know if the style from 70-73 leather seats are different than a 74 ?
I have a great opportunity to get a set from a member, but I'd like to know if they'll match.
Thanks,

[/QUOTE] The one difference that I believe..........is the earlier seats had an opening to allow the shoulder belt thru the seat back. The 74 for sure doesn't.......I have a late "74".

Larry is correct on the shoulder harness pass-thru on the '70-'72 seat backs. That would only be a factor IF the other seats came in a car that HAD the shoulder harnesses. If it didn't have the harnesses, then the seats didn't have the pass-thru.
Other than that, there is also a difference in the seat cover patterns from year to year. The basic seat itself, tho is the same, as far as being able to bolt in a set from another year.
