I want to do the same thing, I have 69 seats in my 72 and it just isn't right. I thought the frames were identical as well. This is interesting because I thought both foams were different, I know the backs are because the insert is shaped differently and I thought the bottom was too, but then again I've never looked at a set side by side. I think if I do it I will go ahead and change the bottom foams anyway to freshen them up and this would take out any doubt. My drivers side bottom foam was worn and I had to add a little foam to build it back up when I reupholstered the seats.
