Looking for a decent set of used front seats for a 1972 FJ40. Original bench seat style would be nice but would also consider later bucket seats.

Preferably somewhat local to Chattanooga, TN. Would consider freight depending on price.

@Toler has a great deal on a pair of nice 73 seats
 
post a new thread looking for seats and I'll see what pops up
Thanks Gents… I’ve got a post up now searching for seats. Would appreciate any and all leads. Thanks!!

Maybe someone can educate me on front seats; were they the same style from 73-78? What was the deal w/ headrests? Optional? Year specific? Thanks!

The head rest changed 9/75. Spacing and post are the same just a different style. Earlier were a rarer option which makes them harder find. Some thing in the seats changed 6/76. Mounting to the tub is the same. But how the seat bottom and back bolt together changed. Found that out years ago when I tried to change the back from a set I have with the bottom in my 2/73 FJ40. Do see a change again 3/77 but those show as sub for the 6/76. Unless you know the manufacturer date of both bottom and back would not try to put a set together from parts.
