Any company suggestions for re doing the bench seats?
And carpet/vinyl?

Did the 73-79 come with bucket seats. I've never seen one.???

You could try some of the kits such as JCwhitney, but i found a good upholstry shop would do a better job than me. The guy I used rebuilt the springs, and added firm paddings. All in all, it was money well spent. Nice and compfy for the buttocks

Paul,
You could try the web site here!
I usually just take mine to a local upholstery shop.
Look at some of their work before you agree to anything.
Carpet set are available just about anywhere.
You get what you pay for.

I recently got a bench seat from a '91 F150 with a fold down armrest in the center, it's very comfy. It was a bolt in swap and cost a little less than recovering my stock seat. Might give it a check...

I don't know if they came with buckets, but front seats from a Toyota minivan (the old ones) will almost bolt in!
