I'm having the same problem with my 72. 79 tracks are not a direct fit, in my application anyway, they appear to be too tall and too long. I look forward to others opinions. Another question I have regarding seats... when you purchase seat brackets, does this usually include the slider tracks? I have recovered seats, but no tracks or brackets. Sorry, no help so I'll just latch myself on to your question. :)

You may be able to drill new holes in the new seat track mounting brackets....or remove the original seat tracks and install them on the new seats. It shouldn't be much of a problem.
