I'm pretty sure the YearOne pieces are just the board itself, and do not include the metal strip along the bottom edge, and the 4 hooks/clips that hook to the seat frame...not sure if anyone makes those pieces. I had to reuse the ones from my old seat backs when I needed new backs.

There always seems to be quirky little differences in these cars. My 69 never had the back seat out, when I pulled it for upholstery I not only found the second broadcast sheet but discovered my board simply hooked onto the same hooks the seat back hooked onto. Weird.  :shruggy:

This part needs to be reinvented. Even if you have the lower brace and the 4 hooks, you still have a headache ahead and likely disappointment. The originals used a thinner vinyl than you get today. Once assembled with new board and vinyl, they don't fit like the originals.

I used a set of plastic ones from eBay. They work very well. They are textured so you don't need to cover them. I covered mine with the correct vinyl. They look just like there supposed to other  than the fact that they aren't dented where the hooks are and they don't pop off.
