68 to 69 bucket seats

Does anyone know if a set of 68 bucket seats in a 69 cutlass can have the seat back releases changed to the 69 style. I know there are different latch systems, but can the seat frames be used if the seat back and latch assemblies are changed?

There are a handful of minor differences... I mean, anything CAN be done... but I would find the right seat frames and make your life easier. The '69-up seat frames will also have two bump stops (since the '68 latch acts as one)... I think the clips for the seat backs are screwed in on '68 vs being integral on '69-up... can't remember what else.

Ben Rambow is the guy that would know.
