Thanks for the info. Never thought they would be so simple as a seat code.

Took the seat backs off, since they were already there. Metal tags on both, same codes with the "0271."
 
My leather seats are in good condition, but they frames are tweaked a bit. I hear this is a common problem on the seats. The edges of the top and bottom frames, where the adjustable bolts bend (for seat tilt angles) themselves, then tweak the frame too. 
 
I doesn't seem too big a deal to slowly pull back the leather by removing a few hog rings, then bend the frames back in shape.
 
I also have seen a reinforcement plate sold- has anyone used one of these?
