I got a pair of bucket seats and this 1 has a short bracket on it. The other 3 are taller normal looking ones like the taller one in the photo.
What application would take the short one as I have never seen one like it before??
Thanks for any help on this.
One guy thought it might be from a 75 or 76 A Body ??? Anyone else know for sure ??

the outboard A-body tracks are "Z" shaped scope (passenger '71 A-body in pic)

"flat" outboard tracks are E-body

Thanks for the info.
I will try and get an end photo to post.
I never seen one where that flat floor plate is just above the slider like this.
I am used to seeing the B Body ones that are 3" tall or so.
I believe my seat bottom is the driver side bottom.
Well the seat tracks won't work on my RR.
I Appreciate the info.
David

the inside driver's side track in your pics almost looks like a '69-'70 b-body piece
shruggy but belongs in-board passenger side?

I bought the seats for my RR project from a guy on here. Not sure what they were out of but they were the style of bucket seats I needed. I Think they were listed as B Body seats.
The 1 track looks like a B Body one to me so that was confusing me because of the flat 1 on there also.
Maybe someone mixed them up and just threw them on to ship them ??
My bench seats track for my other RR looks like the tall one.
I will get more photos for comparison to what others have.
That's why I asked because it doesn't look correct to me.
Thanks Again, David

Ok I got to looking at the photo of the other seat bottom and it appears I have a mix and match seat. These are tall ones but there is an adjuster lever on both seat tracks on it.
There shouldn't be a lever of each side of 1 seat bottom correct ??
There is a wire that connects 1 side to the other side track Right ??
I never messed with seat tracks till I did my A12 car. I just reused my original tracks on all my cars so I never looked at an others. Lol Looks like a learning lesson for me.
P.S. these photos are from the same seat bottom.

here's a '69 b-body passenger side bucket seat track - looks like you have 3 of 4 tracks

missing in-board passenger side

Thanks for the photos and all the info.
I guess I was close to having what I needed. 3 out of 4 is good odds. Lol
I Really Appreciate the info.
I guess now I need to get rid of the flat one and get the inboard driver side track to have a complete set.
Thanks Again I Appreciate it !!!

yes, the adjuster knobs should be to the outside & '69s had the wire connection to release the lock on the in-board track.

here's a modified pic: a mirrored image of my RH inboard seat track compared to your original pic

If those fit the 70-up buckets then wouldn't they be 70B only?

Those are too tall for 70 B-body, they were a bit shorter and used four of the round spacers on the studs. Also had 4 bolts to,attach tracks to,the seat, earlier tracks used 2 studs and 2 bolts.
