Dart Swinger seat covers . . . need help
Hey Popdart, be careful on ordering seats. Duster, Dart Sports DO NOT have the same rear seat as a Dart Swinger. The bottom is but the top is a taller frame, cushion, and cover and will not fit a Swinger frame. The guy you spoke to was right. I believe 72 was the last year Swingers had buckets as an option as the Dart Sport took over as the 'hot rod' and the Swinger became the family cruiser. From a point of reference the back seats on 73 to 76 Swingers are the same. It is just getting a seat cover from a 74 Swinger and the bucket seat covers from the Dart Sport. All you have to do is have the pattern/grain checked to make sure its the same.
I am not stealing your thread but I am going through the same situation you are. I am not sure if I can fit 73 covers on my 70 seat in my Swinger as I have a 73 split bench with solid high back seat backs and a fold down armrest. I want to recover them both but do not have a 73 seat for reference so I am up a creek so to speak. Check out the picture and see my dilemna.
