Seat Tracks

[Roger S.]

Are the seat tracks for a 70 - 74 Corvette the same? I am looking for a replacement track for my 73 Corvette and am wondering what to get.

Should be the same. I think there was achange in 75 to accomodate the cat converter.

Try Ecklers, Riks or Corvette America.

No, 1970-74 seat tracks are not all the same. The 1968-71 are the same. 72-74 are the same but different than 68-71. I don't think that they are a lot different, but I can't tell you exactly what the differences are.

Roger,
Compare prices then look on Ebay. I have seen some of these go for fairly cheep prices. Even pretty rough tracks will clean up well. Mine were rusted solid. I got them sand blasted by someone localy. They have a commercial set up, a bit more powerful than your typical home set up. When I got them back the tracks looked great and moved very nicely. I then sprayed them with dionizer rust stopper, can find this at Murrays, and then painted them. The tracks now look almost like new and work great.

Re: Seat Tracks

The difference is the orientation of the rear mounting bracket that is riveted to the seat track. The 68-71 seat track has the bracket (which is shaped sort of like a triangle with the top point cut off) pointed toward the rear. The 72-74 seat track has the rear bracket pointed toward the front. This changes the location of the rear mounting holes that attach the seat track to the body.

I don't know if they will interchange, and my dates may be off somewhat.

Roger, what exactly do you need, I may be able to help.

Thanks for confirming that. That's exactly what I thought the difference was, but I was not sure enough to say so. I thought that the basic tracks were the same but the rivetted-on mounting brackets were different.
