1966 - 1974 Bucket Seats, Tracks & Floor Mounts
It seems there are a lot of requests for correct buckets seats for Novas.
I did a little research a couple of years ago and got some info on the buckets seats from 1966 to 1974 Novas.
Since I can not put all the pictures into one post, I will divide this into three posts.
1. seats
2. tracks
3. mounts
1966 to 1974 Bucket Seats
67 buckets - no headrest, imagine since headrest were an option in ’66, probably same with ’67, backs lock with lock buttons on the side.
68 buckets - no headrest, Headrests were an option. Backs lock with buttons on side, the lock button is not in the same place as 67 and the backs are a little different due to the buttons and the way they connect on the back of the seat.
69 to 71 - headrest installed, lock buttons in the middle of the back of the seat back.
72 to 74 high back buckets
The only difference I've seen in the high backs are the button
locations and I can not tell which is which.
I think these are 74's

- This is a link to brochures on 1962 to 1979 Novas, there are several pictures of bucket seats for you to see the different patterns used over the years. http://www.classicnovas.net/brochure/index.htm
- The following is what I think I know for sure at this time. I believe the bucket seat frame is the same for all 'A' body cars. The tracks, headrest and seat back locks will determine years.
”I didn't see it mentioned here, But the 66 and 67 was the only years that the back and bottom covers were metal. 68 they went to plastic. And I have a set of green 66's that the ribbon trim around the base covers was the interior color (aqua). Never saw that in the later years, they were all chrome”
