Maybe the difference between the 67-72 and 73-75(?) mounts.

I have this "67-72 vs 73-75 bucket seat bracket info" from the other thread:
You "could" swap the front stands (floor mount) and use them, but they'd still be 5/8" inch taller at the front and 1/2" taller at the rear...

The bucket seat brackets are the same at the bottom rear for 69-72 and 73-up.
It's the front stands on the bottom and BOTH upper stands that are different.
The front stands on the bottom (cab floor side) are a full inch taller on the 73-up brackets.

The pieces that bolt to the seats are the same bolt pattern but different heights also. The front seat mount stand is 3 1/4" high on the 69-72 bucket mounts and 3 7/8" on the 73-up
The rear seat mount stand is 2 7/8" high on 69-72 bucket mounts and 3 3/8" on the 73-up
If I'm reading that correctly, it sounds like later buckets can be bolted to the correct bucket brackets for our year of truck and installed with no drilling. If that's true, then I also hope the same is true for benches.
