Think about asking him to strap the two seats to a pallet and shipping by truck; strap the seat bottoms down, then lay down the seat backs across the bottoms and strap those down so they don't move... Might take a little longer to get them, and probably would need to pick them up at a local shipping point, but would undoubtedly be less expensive than buying two '68 bucket seats. (weight don't matter as much when shipping this way).
