    I have a 1973 LDO 4 dr that has perfect bucket seats in it and I was wondering what all I would have to do to mount them in my 1972 2dr. It is a bench seat car

    Question, do the 4 door bucket seats have seat backs that fold forward?

    No, but you can make them fold forward, they just won't have the latches...

    I got them put in today. Tomorrow I need to go get seat covers because I have black interior and these are cream colored. These buckets sure are a lot more comforter than the old bench seat
