Bench Seat Foam Fitment Options

[TurdTaco64]

My 86 has buckets out of god knows what that I don't really care for. My plan was to buy a used bench seat, re-foam and re-cover it, so I grabbed a seat out of an 81 from CL to do just that. Turns out I didn't look close enough at LMC to realize that they don't offer the seat back foam for 81-86 seats. My question is has anyone bought the 73-80 back and bottom foam set and gotten it to work on 81+? My other thought was get rid of this bench, grab a pre 81 and get the foam set and upholstery and put that in as after some research I've gathered that it would bolt in fine. I know the seatbelts are configured a bit different, but could I install the early seatbelts as well? FWIW I'm planning on getting upholstery from B62 Upholstery if anyone has experience with them.

Emily.. at B62 Upholstery did my bench seat, Good quality but not cheap! You get what you pay for.
