    I have a set of TAN LDO bucket seats from a 74 Maverick. I want to use them in my BLUE 77 Maverick with a bench seat. I would like to know if anybody can help me with the code number from a BLUE set of LDO seats.
    If I have a number that was used in Mavericks I would then order the vinyl and have a local upholstery shop make them up.
    Thanks

    Thanks Dave / Paul
    I see the picture of the color. Maybe I can pick from that. The sample pictures are very small from the upholstery suppliers, but guess I can order a few samples. I do have the time as this is a winter project.

    Unless you alter/change the floor....you will need 1975-1977 bucket seat rails. The 1974 seats will have bucket seat tracks that won't work in a 1977.

    I also saved the floor and brackets from my 74 donor car. The cat hump in my 77 will go away.

    Thank you guys for your help. I am sure I will be able to find the correct vinyl.
