I don't know this for sure but I think the seat tracks for all C3's are the same but the floor mount brackets are different. These are available at Paragon, Corvette Central and others

You shouldn't have had any problems with that swap... I have a ' 77 and just put a pair of ' 79 Pace Car Seats in it with no problem.. They bolted right in as track mounting mearsurements are the same..
