Just curious, if you want a automatic or manual?

I assume no one's reproducing these, correct?

You are correct, perhaps I misunderstood the trade offer. I thought you were asking for me to build out my a100 seats to then trade for your fully restored bucket seats. Unfortunately the color of your seats don't work for my car.

I appreciate the consideration, but I feel like blue buckets in my gold car is not tje look I'm going for. I'm gonna have to pass

What color are your seats?

These have been stripped and powder coated black over a decade ago, stored inside. Just pulled out of bag from powder coating shop for photos. I have the original foam as well, but I believe they repop the foam now. No covers. $400 OBO plus shipping... (or trade for parts for my 68 barracuda )...

No build sheet but I found this old sticker under the carpet: J.P. STEVENS & CO., INC. 1792 D Y5 GOLD 1968 CHRYSLER "A" BODY REAR B/S CONSOLE S/29 7 10 67

So my WAG (wild *** guess) is this was for a lockbox under driver seat?? Anyone have ideas opinions?

The hunt for the build sheet continues, no luck under drivers side carpet... but I did find the ultra rare P.O. installed security system?!?

Coffee.. all I needed was coffee (and this added illustration!) For some reason I kept looking at the "spine" of the shoe with the hole cut outs trying to decifer what spot was the tab vs non tab . Now it's so clear! Totally get the edge of the shoe and how mine has the formed over tab to...

Thank you Mattax for the explanation, photos and reference links! I need to study the pictures more and read up to understand the "tab" reference, might just be my tired eyes not catching on atm. I really appreciate the time you put in to help me better understand the brake situation!

...almost got the Brakes buttoned up, THEN the rear softline/ Y junction went full artery block! Got a new soft line and cleared the hardlines. Hopefully get it back together tomorrow. New front and now rear soft lines, new wheel cylinders and shoes all around. New Master cylinder and...

Noticed my greasy fingerprints make the cap look dented in prior picture. Shiny grease caps are tough to photograph! I assure you they are scratch and ding free- looks so much better than what I had!

Got some nicer grease caps on today.thank you Dana67dart for the caps! Went digging in my pipe of pvc fittings per your suggestion and found that the threaded end of a 1" compression fitting is the perfect tool for the job! Got the proper brake hardware and spare front drums from 4fortyDemon...

My current baby '68 barracuda formula S. Has some rust in typical rocker areas and few random spots like the one on the trunk edge, but very solid everywhere else ! Currently sorting out the brakes then will shake down the 340, hopefully make a good driver.. I have a restore thread will...
