Hey everybody. I am building a 68 Malibu that originaly had a bench seat. I am planing on putting buckets in and when my budget allows ( college student) addinf headrests. has anybody upgraded non head rest buckets to head rests? what is involved in this process and where did you find the mechanism?

It would be a lot easier to just get a set of 69-72 buckets that come with headrests.

Bucket seats have a 2 post head rest that goes in the top of the seat where the 2 black guide tubes are mounted on top of the seat back. Not sure if all the hardware is available to do a conversion. Ok found the parts to do a conversion headrest guide tubes are $48 a pair and the head rest release buttons are $32 for 69, not sure if 68 had them. True Connections has them along with most vendors I would guess.

68 did not have head rests if I remember correctly. Started in 69 with head rests. The 69 release buttons are different then 70.
