Are you against fabricating a mount? Then you can use almost any seat you want.

I know that, but if I can find one that I like that just bolts in saves a lot of work.

You can however completely remover older covers and padding and swap to your frames saving money at u pull yards not buying whole seat just the cover.

My U Pull It yard charges $30 per bucket. For that price, I sure wouldn't stand out there and strip a seat apart just to get a component.

That my friend is an excellent looking set of seats. Do you have the back seat to match, I bet you do and even the door panels seem to match. If I may ask what did they come from?
