Bucket Seat Foam

[gearheaddrew]

I need to get new foam for all the seats in my 78 Malibu. I tossed the old ones due to the mouse urine smell. I found these locally, the rears are definatly correct, the fronts look different than what mine are. Does this look like someone recovered the factory high back buckets or reshaped the foam.

Correct so do a lot of retailers. Its PUI interior foam sets and they come from China. According to PUI they are completely out of stock and no projected ship date from China on the stock order.

Found it on Jegs from another supplier. OER https://www.oerparts.com/product/1985/buick/regal/parts/gn110178.html claims to be for a regal but they are the same seats.

The Strato buckets (RPO A51) are the same for all divisons for the A/G bodies so as long as you have A51 listed as your seat option that seat foam will work.

I believe these are the Strato Buckets.

As an FYI to others, the foam already arrived. I ordered it from Jegs and it looks to be a quality reproduction of the factory foam. I have to believe it is the same factory in China producing this companies as well as PUI interiors version. Jegs only charged $20 shipping every other place was close to $60.
