    I found a set of good buckets today from a 73 4 door. Will these bolt in to my 73 Grabber and if not what mods will I have to make. Currently the car has a bench seat. Thanks in advance for any help.

    They will bolt right in but they will not fold forward to let people in the backseat. There is a way to alter them to work but is fairly hard to do.

    These seats were the folding kind. Is there something else that keeps them from folding up?

    There should be a latch on the side that releases the lock if they were the folding kind. Or if they are from an earlier model it is down by the seat base.
