I'm getting ready to restore a set of 1970 a-body buckets seats for my 1970 Dart Swinger 340. Here's what i've discovered. The correct molded seat covers are available but the specific foam for that style seat design is not available from anyone. So my question for those of you that have done your 1970 Dart Swinger 340 buckets seats, what did you use for foam and what did you have to do to make it work? Molded foam is available for 1970-71 B and E body and molded foam is available for 1970 Dusters and Demons. Thanks in advance for any advice and help you can offer me.
 
If this helps, the 70 bucket is a 1 year only seat.
They used the same seat in a 70 340 Dart as a 70 Hemi Cuda, and I believe the B body aswell.
Just different upholstery.
So in theory, seat foam out of a 70 Cuda should work.
Im thinking the 70 Duster Demon should work as well.
Call Legendary and see what they have to say.

I've already called and talked to Legendary, they said that they didn't know of any source for the foam specifically for the 1970 Swinger 340 seat pattern. They sell the correct vinyl covers though...so it's going to have to be a custom fit for the foam. I wondered which style foam people has used, the 70-71 style b or e body foam or the 70 a body Duster/Demon foam.

i had used Tamraz's they are PUI Interior cushions, they even mixed and matched both styles to get me the correct backs and correct seat bottoms.

Are those PUI? They appear loose over the foam.
 
Drive48, my seat covers are going to have to fit a bit tighter than what yours are.

Those are before pics of new legendary covers on the old cushions, i bought and installed the new cushions last winter and installed them, everything is tight. I didn't have time today but will get pics tomorrow.
 
Old cushions shrink with use & time, so that explains it.
 
Ok, if possible, which part number foam from PUI did you use?
