Fender Tag Help..

[chapdog105]

I need help decoding my fender tag. I'm going to a huge Mopar swap meet on Sunday. It's the biggest one in Michigan, and I should have a pretty good chance at scoring some good parts for my vert restoration.
The main thing I'm looking for are original bucket seats for my 69 vert.
I wouldn't know the difference between seats for for a 69 in comparison to other years or models.
Can someone post some pics of their bucket seats to this thread? Possibly ones that match the ones on my fender tag so I know what I'm looking for.

Here's a shot of a black '69 bucket interior...I don't recall that there is any difference between M6X and H6X but if someone knows differently they can chime in...

Ray your pic is the medium grade which is correct. I don't think the High end seat was offered in a bird and I don't know what they look like!

All b body bucket seats are the same for '69. The only difference is the seat covers.

I really like both sets of 69 repop seats they have available. I especially like the set with the headrests.
They don't have prices listed. I emailed them for pricing on both sets for 69 bird.
I hope they're affordable! I'll let you guys know...

Just to provide some fodder for discussion, this is excerpted from a thread on the LOH Playground:

Didn't the RM23 Hardtop come with the High grade interior and chrome tips, etc., standard?

Mike, up until the RM23M9A263XXX range of A12 cars your statement is correct for bench seats, all High grade. But the bucket seat RM23 cars up to RM23M9A263XXX are mostly Medium grade buckets, two cars on my list High grade buckets. After RM23M9A263XXX, there are all kinds of Medium grade bench seats in the Hardtops. This may be a good topic to start a new thread of it's own.

The respondent was Dave Watt, the unoffical A12 Numbers Guy. If he says there were H6* coded '69 Road Runners then there were H6* coded '69Road Runners, and he likely has photos of the fender tags to prove it. Based on what I have read previously in similar threads I do not believe that there is any difference in the seat covers - but have no personal experience upon which I can stake a claim.

I always find this part of the hobby fascinating...

I wonder if the high grade were the same but had medallions? Just a guess

Looks like the 2 seats will be about $2,000 when it's all said and done.
I may be going with the 71 seats for a while so I can get my resto done, then add the seats later.

I misread the email from the guy about those seats.
I thought it was $875 plus shipping per seat, when actually you get both bucket seats complete, as well as the 2 covers for the back seat for $875 plus $125 shipping.
I can swing $1000 for new buckets and a back seat cover.
Can a few of you guys check this ebay link out to ensure these repops are legit?

Thanks,

Crazy...the car was somewhere around 3 grand new, now the seats alone are worth
2 grand. No kidding.

Ray, the I think the decoding and research part of this hobby is fascinating as well.
I guess that's the history teacher in me.

I think his ad says it all; they are similar but not exact. Just depends on what you want - if you want them to look like the originals then these are not for you. If you just want something close and functional then these will do. You have to decide what you want.

If you add up all the things that go into restoring seats a thousand bucks is about right. I would prefer originals that are restored.

Those have a similar look but the originals have different hinges covers on the outside do to the fact they didn't recline like those.

I really wish I could just find a set of original 69 buckets and have them recovered.
Hopefully I'll find a pair in the next 6 months or so. I do have a set a of buckets that aren't original that I can use til I find a pair.

Are these 1969 Runner seats? The guys says they are, but they don't look like it to me (but what do I know...).
