As for the tracks and the 71 truck. The tracks are totally different on the 67-72 generation of trucks. Even on the 73-87 generation, you cannot swap tracks. The track has to match the frame. They are as follows:
73-76
77-80
81-87
So another words you wouldn’t be able to bolt the 81-87 tracks to a 77-80 frame. The only way to use different tracks, on different frames, is to weld them. Also the 67-72 tracks have risers, they make the seat sit up higher. There is a thread on 67-72 board, discussing seat tracks.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. I wish I had not tossed my original seat.

I’m not ready for a new seat yet; it would probably just get damaged. Do you tend to have 67-72 seats available?

Thanks!

I have one, 67-68. But it is already spoken for. They are extremely hard to find. The pick are when I got it, and then after I stripped it down and restored the frame.

And then the tracks. They are 67-68, I have them marked wrong

Took a little road trip to Cincinnati. Picked up a few seat cores and a set of Charcoal Seat Belts. The Blue Seat is a S10 Benchseat. I have gotten a few requests for those. So it will be my 1st time for an S10 Restoration.

Here’s a better pic of the S10 Benchseat. It is very similar to the full size Benchseats, just not as wide. Got both or the seats torn down today.

This will be the next seat to be built. 77-80 tilting seat. It will be going in a 77. Black Velour/Vinyl. More pics to come when I get it built.
