I just wanted to let you know I have not forgotten to get you some pictures and more information. Between catching the cooties & the quarantine, snow, and the start of the semester I have not made it to the farm to get pictures. It is still on the top of my list.

This could also be considered a bump in case someone beats me to it.

Oh ok know what you mean

Ever get to them yet?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/68-70-Mopa...46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 these look like same are on the seat?would this kit if needed to get for conversion?

Good Timing.

I got over there yesterday. I got a few pictures but no tools so I didn't take the levers off to compare them. I am hoping to go back today. I was wrong about a locating tab that limits the motion. There wasn't one. After looking at the link you provided I think that those are the same parts. It should swap over.

My set frames are bent, not from the factory they are just bent from heavy use, so I can not definitively tell you that the frames are left right specific or not.

What I forgot to do was to check and see if the inside frame of the seat back has the pivot and mounting holes for the latch and side covers. I am going to try to get over there today and do some more dissection.

So far it looks promising for a swap.

Oh ok cool lmk thanks for the updated pics of seats for info.it does look promising the swap.

I looked at the seat and took a set of snap ring pliers today to do some swap/caparisons.

It looks like it will swap BUT like somebody said earlier the drivers side and passenger's side springs are different. They curl in opposite directions in relation to the end of the spring that hooks to the latch arm.

I tried to get both sides off but the seat upholstery on them was so tight I couldn't get the latch off the passenger side. I did confirm the inside hinge arms on the seat backs do have the pins and trim mounting holes, so they could be used on passenger or drivers side.

Looks like the swap is a go. If you can modify the spring or get an opposite side latch spring from a car that has the bottom release latches you are set. Some bench and bucket seats have release buttons and their latch are different.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I need to get more pictures or information.

Oh ok thanks gettin the pics and info.though the swap is a go.would that kit work l posted last night?

According to the description that kit works for a lot of cars and it should work for yours. I wouldn't be surprised to see it on later model trucks.

If you already have a latch on the seat you are getting, you would only need the passenger side spring.

Even better I would clamp the drivers side spring in a vice and bent the tip with pliers or a hammer. You just need the tip of the spring to point in the opposite direction and it would work fine. The spring is clamped between the lever and the seat hinge arm so it won't have to be super perfect. It's trapped and can't move out of place.


Most of my cars have either 70/71 B/E body buckets or the bench seats with the buttons mounted up high or I would send one from my spare parts. I only have the one set of 73/74 Buckets.

Oh ok l see thanks for the info on modifying the spring

I could still use passenger side seat tracks for the seat?seat covers are universal?

Seat covers are not side specific as far as I know.

They are different when it comes to 73/74 because they have a vinyl back so it will be different than the 70/71 plastic back seats. You know that though.

It appears the seat tracks are different 70/71 vs 72-74. Also the 70/71 had different inside tracks left and right but in 72-74 the inside track was the same but the outside (with the handle) was different.

That is strictly by part numbers. It could be that they will interchange but something insignificant was changed so they got a new part number. The repops all seem to be say 70 through 74.

Hope it is some help.

Oh ok l see thanks for the info.73 74 cuda challenger seats goin in a abody 72 duster.

Okay I thought you were putting 73/74 E body seats in a 73/74 E body that had the wrong year seats.

You are putting E body seats in an A Body. I see the more clearly.

It will be easy to modify the seats to be left or right.

The tracks may be a different story.

I believe the difference in the seat tracks has more to do with mating the floor pan to the seat style.

Do you have A body seat tracks?

I have some Ebody Seat tracks in the basement and I can measure the mounting points tomorrow if that will help.

Yah.lm puttin e-body seat tracks in a abody. Yah l do have seat tracks for abody.one for a driver and one for a passenger side.
70-72 seat tracks are different from 73-76 tracks for a-body

I couldn't measure the 73/74 seats I have because they are in a car in a field and I would have to pull the seats.

I did measure the seat tracks I have in the basement and the bolt holes for the track t the seat are exactly 12".

Hopefully that may be some help.

Oh ok thanks for the info no worries about pulling the seats and all that.

Will this foam work the 73-74 e body seats to or just the b-body as described? https://www.ebay.com/itm/72-74-Mopa...46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

I do not believe the foam will work.

72/74 E body seats had built up side bolsters. The center section of the seat was recessed compared to the sides. The B body foam was almost flat across the back and pretty much flat on the bottom.

Oh ok l see thanks for the pic between the two seats
