    Yes those look to be the original seat tracks.

    Dont look anything like the tracks I have in my cars unless they are LDO tracks.

    Look like what i have, except the "boot shaped" spacer on the one is bell-shaped on mine. And I don't think there was that much lift on the other end of the same track. The other three look identical to mine.

    I do believe they are Maverick tracks from an LDO seat, the passenger side one with the boot is from a 75 or later car with catalyitic convertor

    I have earlier LDO tracks (73?) and they look very similar except with that one with the raised section and the boot-shape riser. I would agree that those are for a cat-conv car.

    Just refinished mine in Rust Bullet and Black-coat and they will get fitted to the car this weekend. :woohoo1: The tracks I have had for years set the buckets too far back.

    Thanks for the info everyone. I'll be posting these in the for sale section soon. I just wanted to make sure they were actual Maverick parts. I'm finding more and more things in this car that aren't original and it's my first maverick so I just have to make sure. I guess it's just a learning experience.
