A body bucket seat help.

BigStrok3 · May 21, 2008

I just picked these up from a guy. All in all there in good condishion. But the tracks are not the same on both seats. Im not an expert on bucket seats so im not sure if ive been had. He said that these were on it when he got them. Are the floor pans the same on both the driver and passenger side? If the drivers seat tracks are not correct. if anyone has a set for drivers side I would be willing to buy them or if you dont want to break up a set I could buy the whole set as long as its a reasonable price. Here are some pics i took.

They also need locks so they dont fold forward on me. Ive seen the kits on some websites. Does the kit come with everything needed? anyone have any imput on them? Thanks in advance!

Of the 4 track pieces, one changed (shorter) when adition of cat converter forced a floor pan change. 1974 I think.

Yea im thinking that might be the flat one with the metal floor spacer on it. But the track adjustment knobs are diffrent on both seats. Looks like someone put a bench seat track on one side maybe? I looked under my duster and I didnt see a cat converter.

I think it was 75- I took my buckets from a 74 and had to modify my tracks to work with the hump in my 76. And for the latches hit the junk yards- alot of different seat styles used interchangable latches- benches and buckets. I'll throw up some pics when I can find my camera

Here are the latches that they say will work idk it doesnt even look like it will bolt up to the seat anywhere. If anyone could get me a pic of there latch with the cover off so I hadve something to go by that would be great.

That latch hardware is for earlier seats. I finally found my camera (wife had it) so I got some pictures for you of the two different latch styles on 72-76 A-body seats. The first one is mostly used for benches- both 50/50 and split bench w/ arm rest. The second style is used on buckets and also in benches but when used on benches they were atached to a cable so that they operate with a push button. The shape of the second may not not be 100% factory correct because I built it- I know the handle isn't correct. And finally the last picture is from an early set of buckets to show you how that kit your looking at works.
