I am trying to put Rugged Ridge low back bucket seats in my Valiant, I bought a set of super stock seat brackets but they are to tall. I’m 6ft 2 so with those brackets installed my head is in the headliner. Anybody know a aftermarket seat track that is factory height for a 69 A body or do I need to build my own? The car was obviously a bench seat car. Don’t know why picture is sideways? I know the bracket is reversed on the seat, was trying different things out.

They do not bolt where the factory bench seat bolts to on the floor. On a factory bucket seat car there are reinforcement bracket on the inside and two other holes on the outside inside of the hump that the bench seat bolts too, hope you tried them there, I can't tell if that is where you bolted them too. On my Hemi Dart there is plenty of room to the headliner, of course I am just 5'-9"...

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

My '69 Barracuda bucket seat tracks are 3 3/4" tall. They sat on plastic spacers 1/2" tall which sat on the carpet with padding that was 1/16 - 1/8" thick compressed.
Only my driver seat had the spacers, and the passenger seat didn't. My guess is the passenger seat was supposed to have them too.
