    Where can I find replacement seats for my 1970 maverick ? I could probably get by with some good seat covers if you all know of where I can buy those as well? The front is 2 bucket seats and the back is a bench. I am just trying to get some advice and have someone point me in the right direction. I could possibly take the whole thing apart and fix the springs and cushions but I am not so sure about that. Also are there other seats that will fit from different year cars? How hard is it to modify ? how hard is it to find a replacement for the back bench seat? Thanks in advance! Shari

    Your '70 has bucket seats? Do you know what month in 1970 it was built?

    NO 1970 Ford Mavericks ever got bucket seats.....so any bucket seats in a 1970 would not be factory.

    I was mistaken, it is a bench seat, the backs fold down separately but the seat is one piece :)
