I think that's a K Seat.  Can you get a picture of the chrome strip on the side?

What makes you think that's from a K? What are the distinguishable differences between the K and F seats? From what I can tell it looks a whole lot like my 77 F seat (which may or may not be original).

I know that's a K seat.  The F model seats have an upturn at the bottom rear.

Thanks guys. TT, I knew you'd know.

I was pretty sure it wasn't an F seat. My F seat has two strips of chrome/shiny stuff along the sides instead of the long strip all the way around on the edge.
