Default Seat Frames?

I'm in the process of upgrading to C6 seats.
The seat tracks and installation kit are solid.
I will report after completion.
The biggest problem has been the newer than 74 seats.
Lots of miss matched fasteners and Bubba sign!
I'm thinking 76-77 ish?
How can I tell what year they are, and what are seat frames alone worth if anything?
I have to go back and service the seat belt mechanism.

The C6 seats are perfect and weigh #70.
I can't get the tracks off w/o damaging something expensive.
Will find a pro to take off tracks and to hook up elect heat and adj.
Getting out the old seats was serious work and a two person job!
Everything was rusty and mismatched a hot mess indeed!
