| Does anyone know of a company that makes original style seat coverings for my 68 Cyclone fastback? I have the bucket seat interior.I know that there weren't very many Cyclones made in 68 with bucket seats. |

| I'll post some pictures as soon as I can.It would be great if they were the same.So far about the only Fairlane stuff I've found to fit the Cyclone is the weatherstripping. |

http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=DA0913-165579 If this is what you have, it 'appears' to me the seats are the same dimensionally.. but the "comfort weave" insets are what is different in appearance. |

What ever you do dont use mustang market the have Torino/Ranchero bucket seats but they aren't what they say. Comfortweave my ass no refund or compensation what so ever. On the other hand the guy that assembled my seats was awesome comes from a family of upholsterers and super fair price. He's in Pacific north west but I would certainly recommend him and forward any contact info, his name is Leif,good guy.Great work |

| Thanks for the warning.From what I've been told the pattern on my Cyclone buckets is different from the Fairlane and Torino.I'll probably have to try to find the right material and have them made.Repo stuff for a 68 Cyclone is mostly non existent.Thanks again. |

For what it's worth: The 68 Montego buckets are the same as the Torino with the exception that some (maybe all) Montego buckets cam with headrests. As far as I can figure out, Torino buckets did not get headrests till 1969. ------------- Jamie Thurber 68 Montego 78 Ranchero US Navy retired |
