1971 B Body Seat Tracks - 01/12/22 08:15 AM
Okay so I have a situation…
I have a 1971 satellite that was cloned into a roadrunner. The former owner switched from a bench seat into buckets from a Cuda (not sure what year). When they switched to the buckets they didn’t install the reinforcements in the floor pans for the bucket seats causing one of the bolts to tear through the floor pan. Also, when I found this I noticed some goofy brackets they had to install on the inside (transmission hump side) of the seat brackets to make them level to the B body floor pan. I’m hoping that somebody here can tell me if there is a good solution to fixing this problem without having to buy new seats? These buckets are in great shape, and I can get the reproduction reinforcement plates (bought from Mancini Racing) welded in place as the factory had designed. Any solutions out there? Or maybe somebody has some 1971 B-Body seat tracks?
Thanks ahead of time!
