[Spridgets] Question on seat frames

[Greg Gowins]

Thanks!  That definitely would help, any info is appreciated.  Does the
headrest lock into place, or does it just slide in?   It is hard to tell
from the diagrams I've seen.  It appears that the part for the headrest is
the only difference in the '68/'69 seat frames and the 70-79 ones.
