Re: Mounting Front Bucket Seats

To my knowledge, the only bucket seats used for the 72 model year were the Sport type whereas 71 and earlier also made use of the base “utility” buckets. If yours is a 72 and you find another 72 with factory buckets they should fit your ride. Check the skirts for hidden rust though may not be a deal killer. Grab the floor bolts if possible (rear bolts for LH seat are longer than those for front). Going rate for sport buckets with brackets - $800 plus? Check advanced search for recent sales here.

Long list of other items to look for but any list would include CST rear panel chrome retaining strips, OEM seat belts, rear seat/brackets, below dash speaker, good hatch, door to pillar shims, and 72 rear bumper gravel shields. Items that are largely or exclusively K5-specific/not reproduced should be targeted.
