I started to reupholster my seats and found that the driver's side bucket frame and springs are rusted beyond repair. So, I'm looking for a new pair or at minimum, a driver's side frame. I'm located in Kansas City, but I'm willing to drive a few hours to pick up good serviceable parts. Thanks.

There's a crusty pair from 68 (no head rest) in OH on e-Pay.

Thanks schufitz. I saw those. Crusty is fine since I have new foam and covers, but the frames don't appear to be any better than the ones I have. I'll file those away for now and continue the search. I'm not in a rush....yet.

Found a pair within driving distance (4 hours one way). They're actually out of a Cyclone. They look....better than what I have. Hope I'm not disappointed when I pick them up.

Not to hijack, but if anyone has a descent set of buck seat side trim for sale, I'm interested.
Thanks in advance.

They're from a 68. The upholstery pattern is different, but everything else appears to be the same. The main issue I see is the lack of headrests, but I'm confident I can come up with a way to adapt the Torino headrests since they're in good shape and I have new covers.
