My "build" wasn't trying to retain the 1972 as stock by any means so the seats seemed like a good upgrade and for awhile I didn't like them but I gotta tell you....they are SOOOOO comfortable that I'm loving them now!

We used 1" square tubes and "tabbed them" to accept the seat tracks from the new seats. We added tabs to use the stock mounting holes too.

I really don't have a good photo but I'm going to be pulling them out pretty soon to complete the carpet and if I remember I will take a photo of the bottoms.

Once you get some 1" square tube you will pretty much figure it out I bet.

Just bolt those to the new seat tracks and put tabs on to use the old holes.

Here is a photo from page 4 of the build.

It kinda shows what I mean.

You can see the tab welded to the top of the square tubing at the front.
