Is it feasible to take out a Bench Seat in a 74 Mav & replace with Buckets? If so, how difficult is it? Thanks, Mike
Piece of cake ... as long as you follow some important things: 1) Make sure they are Maverick Buckets and include Maverick Tracks 2) a 71-74 Maverick must use 71-74 Maverick seats/tracks 3) a 75-77 Maverick must use 75-77 Maverick seats/tracks 4) 1970 Mavericks didn't have buckets - none will easily bolt in. If you do not follow these rules fabrication will be required and forget what I said about being a piece of cake.
what if what if i want buckets, but already swapped a freshly reupolsterd 70 bench into a 71 body. and junked the 71 bench also how do i modify the frame of the 70 rearbench to fit the lower clips on a 71. i don't like my rope (out of sight but not mind). maybe i should leave well enough alone.
70/71 rear seats should be interchangeable. 72/77 rear seats interchange as well. Not sure what you mean about swapping out a bench already ... You do not use any parts from the bench to install buckets.
I managed to replace my bench seat with buckets in my 70 mav but I used the seats and tracks out of a 92 mustang I did have to add some spacers at the inside corners of tracks to level seats and drill new bolt holes but looks much sportier.
