Peter,

Thanks for the info, I was hoping that seats would interchange between various models of the same basic body style. I located a set of medium blue front and rear seats in a 77 280 that look practically new. The only problem I see is the passenger's seat reclining mechanism (or maybe seat frame) might be tweaked as it is leaning to the right about 10 degrees but it is solid so nothing appears to be broken.

They have sort of a small "waffle" pattern insert with leather trim. I think they will go very nicely with the blue interior in the 74 SE. I'm heading to the wrecking yard Saturday morning to yank them out. Hopefully if there is a bent seat frame on the passenger's side I can pull parts prom the old seats to repair. Anyway, I figure at $50 I can't go wrong.

The seats in my SE are fabric and the foam and upholstery in general has pretty much decomposed from sitting for the past two decades. I had thought about reupholstering the original seats but they are, in my opinion, not worth salvaging.

Maybe if I get it to where it doesn't look so ratty I won't threaten it with the boneyard as often!
