'70 seats measurements

I buying parts and peaces here and there. However, how can I tell if what I am buying are really '70 seats? I know they are a one year item with the headrest, but can somebody measure the height, width, and length? I hope thats not too much to ask.

dimensions may help, let me know if you get stuck. The real thing that you need is good pictures. The tops of a real'70 seat are nearly flat across the top with the eustacion for the headrest sitting in the middle. They are low backs. Every other stock seat, from a second gen, IS higher in the back and has a rounded headrest that is integral with the seat. Pics are the way to go. Good luck, these can still be found, most people remove them. I run them and they are OK but not the most comfortable. I am thinking of going with a more pro-tour feel to my car BUT am keeping all of the parts I remove, they are, for the most part very original and I do not want to part with them as I believe that their value will go up when the market returns strictly to original stuff again.
