Can someone tell me if the 1967 strato bucket seats A and B body used the same headrest and mounting hardware.

Thank you,

A, B, and E-body cars all used the same bucket seat frames within a given year.

Are you looking for bucket seats, or just the headrests? The 66-67 style headrests are reproduced and there is a kit available with all the mounting hardware to retrofit non-headrest seats.

I am looking for just the headrest......I have the seats....are the reproductions close to the originals as far as looks and accuracy? They have a set on ebay now for $300.00 plus hardware...which seamed a little high.

I have originals on my 66 442 and I got a repro set for the buckets I'm putting in my 67 D88. The quality is pretty good, but they only come in black. I got mine from these guys for $230.

I got a headrest set from the Parts Place and the spacing of the headrest "rods" were so far off such that the head rest would only retract in the seat back about halfway. No amount of adjustments of the brackets would help. So be forewarned. Here's my post related to that: https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...adrest-121598/
