Pictures attached- from what I gather it is just the normal stock 68 seat (but not the cheap basic one with the super thin foam on the bottom). Between adding the 3 pt seat belts and lowering the seat with those aftermarket brackets, the tilt forward mechanism was interfering with the retractors for the belts (not to mention one of the brackets on the seat was broken off), so I just removed the tilt mechanism which was welded on horribly, and put an additional bolt on the arm as you can see so it doesn’t tilt anymore. Cover is obviously not original as well (you can see some of the remnants of the original one on the back).
