The 68 and 69 bucket seat frames should be the same for all B-bodies.  I believe they are side specific though.  That is, a passenger frame will not properly fit on the drivers side.  I'm not certain about that part but I think that is the way it is.

I know 69 year is specific,different than 68's and becuase they have head rests.My question is are the bucket seats from any b body the same in 69 only?
thanks

I forgot about the headrest thing.  I just checked The Mopar Interchange Manual by Paul Herd and according to it, 68 and 69 buckets (the frames) interchange between all B-bodies but not side to side and headrest being different from non headrest.  He doesn't show a part number for them.
I don't know structurally what is different between the headrest and non headrest.

thanks Ghost but i guess my ? is not getting across,lol.So if i get buckets from a 69 GTX or Roadunner,would they be correct for a 69 Bee?I assume they would be right?They didnt make different buckets for different models correct?
thanks

Your question is, my answer isn't clear lol.  What I'm trying to say is that yes, the GTX bucket would fit the Super Bee.  The pattern of the seat material is different between the two but physically, the seats can bolt in hassle free to either car.
If you had GTX buckets and you stripped off the GTX seat covers and replaced them with the correct material and pattern for a Super Bee, no one would know but you.
Howzat?

You can convert one side to work on the other (not including tracks). The mounts for the release handle are on both sides. You just need to pop the clip off and move it to the other side. They also are universally drilled to mount the seat belt clip on either side. The tracks are somewhat side specific. There may be a way to convert those too, but it would be very difficult if not impossible.

What about converting a non headrest seat to a headrest one Jim?  I know in my 67 seat, the holes for the headrest posts are already there on the inside and it's just a matter of adding the hardware and drilling a hole in the seat cover.
