 Topic: 72 Bucket seat questionPosted: 17-January-2013 at 11:36AM |

Hi
Does anyone know if the bucket seats in a 72 torino sport are the same in any other cars? I saw a 72 or 73 cougar in the junkyard today that had buckets that looked like the 72 torino. I need a drivers side seat for my 72 torino. Thanks

The direct bolt in seats you need will come out of a 72-73 Torino/ranchero/Montego. If you don't mind a slight style change away from highback bucket and are willing to buy two seats. the 74-79 cougar/ranchero, 74-76 torino/montego/elite will work as well as the 77-79 LTD II and T-bird.

I don't want a style change. I am looking for a direct bolt in. I am recovering the seats so the pattern is not a concern. I just need the same frame. The cougar seats looked almost identical to the torino seats,pattern also.

I have a pair of high backs that I would sell together.I believe tracks are needed for them but I would have to check on that. |

Helpful question?...
Do the high back buckets recline? I have a set stored in the 72 GTS at the farm and wondering if they are worth re-upholstering. NOT if they don't recline though. |

Let me get this straight. The 72 style buckets were only available in the 72-73 Torino/Ranchero and Montego? 74 and up the style changed correct? Sorry about all the questions guys. just trying to make sure I find the correct parts.
Thanks
