Craig, isn't it just the seat tracks that are different on the cars with a cat? I thought the seat frame itself was common... Couldn't he just put the '71 style tracks on the newer seats? I'm just asking because I can't rememeber...
: Yes, I would get them if I were you.
: Yes, I would have a pro redo them. It is a really hard job...best left to pros.
: Make sure they are out of a 2-door if that is what you are going to but them into.
: They won't exactly fit a 1971 because of the hump in the floor for the catalytic converter on a 1976. But they are still worth getting just to have them and maybe sell to somebody else.
: My .03 cents worth.
