    I need to replace my driver side bucket seat, but i cant find ANY aftermarket seats. I will replace both if i cant find a match. Does ANYONE know a good place to get seats??

    there are as many different seats out there as there are opinions :D

    no, you wont find an aftermarket seat to match your stocker, but theres tons of options out there. just do a google search and then pick some you like within your budget.

    the other option is to just have your drivers seat redone, any competant upolstery shop can do that with minimal hassle.

    i have the NPD mustang catalog and they have alot of 70's era ford buckets that would look really nice if your going for the stock look. i dont know if there bolt in though, probably not...

    If your car has 73 factory buckets, you could replace the foam and use repop Mustang seat covers.

    Why are you needing to replace it? As stated, the foam can be purchased and basic black or other color vinyl is easily had. Don't toss your seat, they are getting valuable. IF your seat is broken, that may be repaired.

    The framework of the seat is bent, is there a way to fix that?

    Springs can be replaced. I'd check with an upholstery shop. They may be able to assist you.

    Unless the frame is completely rusted away, it should be able to be fixed. It may take a little time and work, but like already said, they don't make'em like that anymore...

    my post was in reply to TreyF73 as the originator of the want ad, as they only need one seat and that is all i have.
