WTB: Seat track spring (for 68 but I am sure other years same)

[TKCR]

I have never seen that spring on these year of track before. Not sure what the purpose would be, because the handle lever works off the spring with the retainer. Not that I have had a lot of these tracks, but I’ll do some research on this.
It does look like the spring used on the 77-80 tracks. These are 6 1/2”.

Thanks again for the reply.
The length of the spring is a bout 6 1/2" (as you noted).
Even though it was on both my trucks (noting both UNrestored originals), it seems like I may be fine without it.
on the other spring (seat track spring and retainer), did you mention you might have an extra of those?


Thanks again,

Kevin

If you would need the entire bar, spring and retainer

I’m looking for the 6 1/2” Spring. If I find it, I’ll post a link. I have some of those, but I would need them for my tracks. I restore seats, so I have supplies or I’m always looking for supplies.

Thanks!!! ...that's what I need.
I saw you're other link (Key Parts), but the Classics item will do.

...I didn't realize you redid seats, I overlooked that 'detail'

If I do come across the 6 1/2" spring, I'll let you know.

Thanks again!

Found these also. I know a lot of the GM seats used some of the same springs. I wonder if you called them, if they could tell you what the dimensions are on those springs?

...been meaning to follow up on these.
When I went to the website I saw they note these springs were also used on 67-69 Camaros. Since I'm heavy into the Camaros and have a loose bucket seat, I checked.
I will add photos, but the net is neither of these springs matches the seat lever spring I'm looking for. Ironically, the one I'm looking for has a diameter in the middle of the two OER springs, and is shorter by 2-3".

Looks like my SMS seat fabric has shipped, so I'll be pulling the seat from the truck soon. When I do, I'll snap photos of all the springs side by side for comparison...

I know when I got mine, it was on EBay. They were correct. Maybe do a search, probably still people that sell them. Also, check the 67-72 parts forum. I’m pretty sure there is someone over there that sells seat parts.
