Seat track question
I have noticed that the seat track rear mounting brackets for 73-74 are different than that of a 68-72. The question is will 73-74 tracks bolt up to a 71 car without being modified?
I have 74 seats in my 71 and the tracks are missing the rear track brackets and I am looking to add them.
Thanks for any input.

I bought 3 rear brackets on eBay last week that were listed as 68-72 but they turned out to be 73-74. I will need to buy one more. Do you think they will line up correctly without me re-drilling since the tracks are from a 74. Looks like they were originally riveted and spot welded.
Thanks,
Scott

I am finding out that my seat are not from a 74 but yet another year (yet unidentified) the brackets on the rear of the tracks are not missing like I thought but rather different they are shaped more like the front. I will take the seats out this weekend remove the tracks and see what I need to do to correct this miss-match maybe it just a matter of replacing the brackets or perhaps sell them and buy the correct tracks. That's what I have done with everything else that was not correct. 
Looks like they are from a 76-78.
