Re: Putting later seat cover on '68 bench seat...

You can make any cover fit, but your happiness with the end result will depend on your expectations. It takes a lot of skill and time to fill out the shape of the seat to remove any wrinkles and bulges from 67/68 to later model covers.

I have done it (you can check my build thread), and I wouldn't recommend it. Once you put in the time and add up the cost of foam and miscellaneous stuff to make it work- you will be about even to just buying what you want the first time- and the right parts will make the job much easier.

If you don't care about the seat back movement, just buy a later model complete bench seat and new cover. Or, just order a custom cover from one of the smaller upholstery shops.
