Question Bench Seat Differences...???????????

Guys, I have an important question......

Is there any difference between a 1978 and 1983 Standard Bench Seat?.....That is, the track mounts (bolt holes), overall width, etc....?? (standard no-headrest models)............

I want to know if I can swap out my 1978 bench with another bench from a 1983....................? YES? NO?

Subscribed, but I have no clue. (Yes, I know I set myself up on that one. So, Chris, or Trav, or Bruno, or any of a dozen others, go for it.)

I thought I saw an advertisement saying the 80 had an "improved, larger cab".

Yes, Gary, we all know that, you don't need to advertise it like that.
