Re: seat compatability

you can prolly attach the tracks from a 73-87 and it should work.. i dont have a seat handy to measure but the cabs were about the same size the seat tracks are different that i do know

Re: seat compatability

no it does not, and i would no recommend that seat, the brackets are a little too high for that truck, u will have to cut them down to sit right and look right.

I recommend the ford taurs seats

Re: seat compatability

All you have to do i switch brackets theres four bolts per side on 67-72. As for the 83 seat theres three bolts per side, you might have to drill a hole for the front bolt. I did the same thing, found a nicer seat and swapped brackets.
Good luck!
