I was lucky enough to score some "medallion" style buckets that I now know are 76-77 seats, but my goal is to reupholster them into 73-75 versions. I am wondering if there is any reason I could not simply refoam and recover them, or if there is some structural difference that means I should abandon this idea.
Besides inner rear rivnut spacing being different, frames should be the same but not 100% sure. So yes, hypothetically you should be able to refoam with 73-75 and use corresponding covers.

Let me know if you try this. I have multiple sets of 76-77 and would like one more of 73-75 style.
