I pulled them from a 75 and it looked pretty factory to me? At first I thought the seat tracks were broken, but it's actually the brackets that mount the track to the seat bottom.

Also the drivers side upper is twisted back, not sure if it's fixable or not?????? Two of the seat track springs are broken.

Was it worth it?

Yes, you will need the floor tabs as well...they are spot welded to the floor. Here is a before and after shot of mine, along with a 1/2 scale template you could use if you want to make your own (scale it up twice).

That particular console with the ashtray was used up till 75/76 or so, on trucks with lap belts only, the slots are for the female end of the buckle to rest in when not in use.

You guys rock! I'll go look for the floor tabs tomorrow!

I was wondering what the Hell those square holes were for in the console, I was thinking a pack of Lucky Strike non filter

The console just bolts to the floor, the tabs are for the front inner tabs on the seat tracks.

Good find! It seems everyone is finding factory buckets recently. Those should re-skin nicely...
