Has anyone ever converted a passengers seat so it fits on the drivers side? --or is it even possible?
They're 68 Charger seats that came with a 70 parts car and I hope to use them in my 69... :lol:

I have no idea why someone would have put 2 passengers seats in the 70.

Thanks

Since they are mirror opposites you can't simply swap one for another but some cutting and welding would do it.  Way easier to just buy seat tracks of ebay or something though, shouldn't be too expensive for manual tracks.

Passenger or not, '68 tracks shouldn't fit the '70 floor pans.  Were they bolted in?

Ok, maybe I'll look for some on ebay before hacking it apart. Just curious if anyone had done it before.

I remember unbolting a couple of the studs. It's hard to say how they were attached when the floor pans still existed. I do know they fit ok in my 69.

68 and 69 interchange but 70 tracks are shorter I believe.  You can still make it work but it's not a direct bolt in.

Post a wanted ad here, I'm sure some members have some tracks for sale.
