No it won't fit. The seat bottom frame and foam are longer, I'm almost 100%. Give me some time and I'll actually try it out. I have a cover for a 73-80, that hasn't been installed onto a seat yet. I'll attempt to put it on a 81-87 frame and foam and see what happens. And then Monday I will have a 81-87 cover, and then I'll do the same, try to put it on a 73-80 frame and foam. And then I'll will post back with the results. That way, anyone with the same question will know.
But you do have another option, take your seat to an upholstery shop and have them custom make you a cover like the Deluxe style. It will be more costly. And if you don't care about your cover being model year specific, then this might be your only choice.
The 2 pics I'm attaching are the styles for the 73-80. Of course there are different color variations, and then if its all vinyl or vinyl/velour combo.
