I have a set of buckets for the Dart but they came with no tracks.

The bolt pattern is 14 3/4" wide by 12" deep.

Will 76 Aspen bucket seat tracks work in a 72 A-Body with little to no mods?

Thanks,
Joe

IF F-body and late B-body seat tracks have the same top bolt pattern (same pattern as seats bottoms), then yes, they should. I just measured one set of late B-body seat tracks still bolted to the seat bottom, and the bolts are 14.75" wide by 12" deep.

Will the F-body track's bottom studs line up with the A-body holes in the floorpan? I don't know, but I would guess no. Maybe if it was a '76 A-body, I would be more inclined to believe they would.

Thanks for the info.

As long as the tracks will line up on the seat I can make the tracks work in the floor.

I am not afraid of drilling holes and a little welding.
