Thanks for the pics but my rear seat is roughly the same shape so I'll pass.

Any '65-'68 C-body will be the same. Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth,

Maybe even Imperial-but I'm guessing here.

Seat frames and tracks should be the same across all lines.

These cars came with a few different seat configurations.

Fixed bench, split bench, fixed bench w/ flip forward backs, buckets w/center console, etc. And power was an option for all of them.

If you don't have them already, there are a few reference items you should invest in:

Factory service manual

Factory parts manual

Color wiring diagram from Classicccarwiring.com

IMHO, thes items are essential for working on your car. All are available through Google.

Hope the input helps.

I can only echo this good advice - especially the color-coded wiring diagram from Classicwiring.com. Make sure you go for the larger size diagram they offer. And Welcome!

You might take your seats to an upholstery shop and ask them if the seat(s) can be repaired. They have probably sucessfully repaired seats that are worse than yours.
