I have been able to find the upholstery, foam and all other supplemental seat components, but does anybody know of a company who makes the actual seat frames?

And, for model 70 year were there optional standard and deluxe model front bench seats?

Don't know of any buddy building new frames. Can find some on Ebay some times. Or Craigs list. Just to say but some one on here may know what I don't Russ.

Hopefully there is a group out there that makes or sells seat frames. Or maybe there are other available frames which would work with the OEM style foam and seat covers. I find it hard to believe that the seat frames are so hard to come by when so many other great restoration parts are available. Anybody else know of anything?

You might find a Satellite one GTX and don't know but just maybe a charge would fit that same year. You are really going to have to search the web. Try Steven's in Alabama. I found a lot of my parts their. Or Wild Cat. These guy's have a lot of mopar part's. I found hard to find parts their. Not cheap. Let me know what they say. You can find Steven's phone number on the web and Wild Cat. also. Good luck Russ.

I did not find one at Stevens or Wild Cats, however they do have other items I will need so thank you for letting me know about them. Tony’s Restoration (specializes in Mopar) has both buckets and bench. Prices are good since they are hard to find items.

Did you have to call for an Ambulance after he told you the price. Yes if you can not find something then they have you by the short hair's just ask ME. Glad you found someone that had what you where looking for. Russ.

Yep shop around may get a cheaper price. Look into Satellite and see what you come up with. Russ.

I found this one. Guy claims its from a 72' RR bus installed into his 70' RR. I do not know enough about the bench seats but if the foam were correct and the upholstery was correct would this work?

Those look really nice. Slight dip in seat on driver side but that would be normal. Wouldn’t doubt at all those could be matched with existing brackets or holes even if slightly elongated.... nothing like ‘67 Mustang buckets in a ‘66 VW Beetle, sat up higher even, wife’s first very own car back in ‘70.

Keep especially the drivers seat supple, the vinyl tuck and roll will split open at the stitch seams regarding very hot and especially cold climates. Certainly not leather or today’s better choices for seats.

I can't really say. Hope some of the other experts will give you a head's up buddy. They look good to me. If you have a classic industries book thumb through and look to see if they look correct. But they look pretty good. Russ.
