Thanks guys. I might buy them then. As soon as I can get some pictures I'll post them. They were interesting and I think likely the GP seats you mentioned Pinion. In place of the normal plastic "elbow" covers at the pivot point these had a metal chrome assembly. It also had a knob assembly sticking out of the side of the seat. It appeared you reclined the seat by rotating the knob. Reminded me of a small chrome triangular nut you'd see on top of any chrome air cleaner. The seats were rough, rusty and upholstery was trashed but they were cheap and I think easy enough to tear down to individual components and restore. Foam and seat covers are easy of course.

How hard would it be to source parts for these if I needed to replace something? Guy seemed to think these same seats were used in a lot of 70s Mopars as well. Said the same company made them for GM and Dodge/Plymouth.
