Seat track question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Are the seat tracks on the 71 chevy different. I'm redoing mine now and replacing some of the adjustment mechanism's and the mechanisms that I got don't fit. Both the seat tracks I have look the same and the new adjustment key will not fit the way it should. So I'm thinking that my tracks are both driver side tracks with the one I'm using on the passenger side having the adjustment lever removed. Can anybody tell me if the seat tracks are the same or different.

I have an OE 67-68 bracket and they are identical minus the adjuster on the drivers side. I also have an LMC bracket (which I wouldn't recommend) and it is also identical minus the adjuster. The springs and clips should be interchangeable between the different seat brackets.

Is it possible you have seat tracks from different year trucks ?
I know seat track for one year say 68 are different from 72.

Here is a good thread on seat tracks by Keith (lowlife99), and others.
