Seat latches for buckets out of a 4 door

They look just like regular buckets, except there isn't a latch so it can fold forward. Externally they look no different, even has the same latch cover.

I don't think they used them in the earlier cars, so maybe '73 or '74 and later? Mine came out of a '74 Brougham or something.

Here is an interior trim option for a '75 Dart SE from the Hamtramck site:

Just a quick follow up on this.

Looking at the Hamtramck color and trim book pages, it appears that the bucket seat with a buddy seat option for 4 doors didn't appear until '75. This would imply that the DS seat would have the shorter track on the inside due to the catalytic converter hump that was added at that time (I think). I don't remember needing to do anything to my seats but swap to better rollers so maybe it was a later option in '74 as well?

WOW, a thread from 2010. You should be selling these parts in a sale thread.

This how to thread with the proof-of-concept fix let me know what to do on my seats to become 2 door buckets.

I thought about that, but the idea of redoing the post every month when activity is like maybe 4 sets over 14+ years seems pointless. And the only reason I have any is not because I am marketing them but because the last inquiry resulted in getting some cut and it was the same cost for 2 or for 10.

I have been toying with starting a company and creating a website which would include these, but honestly I can't see the company doing anything but costing me money. Time will tell.
