Does anyone know if I can buy new seat foam for an interstate seat,1985 if different than other models?

Doubt 1200 foam is available any more, but you can always glue up a new seat with layers of rebond carpet padding held together with 3M 80 spray cement and shaped with an electric carving knife with a final smoothing with a grinder and 60 grit. Finish off with ~1/8" neoprene.
 
Thanks pid,I'm gonna take it to a local upholsterer and get a quote on redoing the seat

You can find seat covers on ebay that take less than an hour to put on. Some of them look like OEM when done. An upholsterer is going to charge ~3-4 times what it costs to do it yourself. I did a 75-77 seat that looks great, and a 78 K&Q with reshaped foam (some removed, some added on the K&Q pan) that looks close. Would be better if I added even more of the carpet foam but the guy that bought it has shorter legs than me and is quite pleased.
 
That's my thing,I'm short,so im getting the foam cut down

I understand that narrowing it near the front is the bigest help for that.
