1985 rear seat replacement covers

Post by zachmac »

I am working on putting the rear cover and package shelf from a 1985 in an earlier car; the two pieces that replaced the rear seat. Does anyone have a good picture of what they look like installed? Particularly interested in where the piece that covers the seat belts meets the piece at the top where it covers the top cloth and wires. Was that piece that screws on across the top the same that year or something different to fit over the piece I'm trying to fit?

Check out allisonsautomotive.com

Marks kit was modeled after the later model parcel shelf so i assume it's very similar to the original.

His site has a few good pictures of both pieces.

Thank you but those pics appear to be on a car with no top installed. I need to see how the piece integrates with the top cover piece.

Jimb,

Please do send me any and all pictures you can of how the back piece fits at the top (in relation to the standard top cover piece that screws across the back). Please send to me at bjzachmac@gforcecable.com

Thanks!
