: It is quite easy to do if you have seats that will fit...The Grabber high-back seats are the same as '71-'73 Mustang seats & came in '71-'74 Grabbers. '73 4-door Mavericks came with a high-back reclining seat as an option. '74s may have also but I'm not sure. In '75, Mavericks & Comets had a "hump" in the passenger side floor pan to make room for the catalytic converter so the frames of the older seats will not work on the passenger side. This isn't a problem in your case unless you have a California car. To answer your original question, it is a simple matter of drilling 4 extra holes in the floor. The bench seat mounts with 2 bolts or "studs" on each end while buckets mount with 4 studs each...

...and there are punch marks in the floor for the four holes, so it's not like you have to measure them out. Just get a drill bit the same size as the bench holes and drill them out. Seats fall right in.
