Default 67 bucket seat trim

I am in the process of restoring my seats and was surprised to fine that the lower seat trim pieces and the seat backs are plastic
In the past all my cars had steel
Does anyone know when they used steel verses plastic for certain years?

Those are either 68 pieces, or reproductions. 66 and 67 were steel (66 didn't have a locking seatback) and the 69 used a relocated release button. So there's 66, 67, 68, and (if I'm not mistaken) 69-72. Don't know about the 64/65, but they're a different style.

I think I have some 67 seat trim in my shop. I'll look tomorrow. It's yours if you want it.

It is not looking good. I went to where the parts were but couldn't find them. I have a couple more places to look but, I may have sold them a while back at the swap meet.

Don't give up on me yet. I still have a couple places to look, it just might take a little time. I am trying to get my shop roof fixed before a forecast storm comes in tomorrow night. I got it decked today and hope to shingle it tomorrow.
