Kev,

I'm not sure what you mean by tracks?? Most of the restoration catalogs sell the brackets that can be welded to your floor or they could be bolted in if you have no access to a welder. They run around $25.00 and they weld right to your floorboards. Once they are welded in, the seats will bolt right into place and look just like they did from the factory.

I just did the complete change over this winter. I changed from bench to buckets and installed a new carpet, a factory floor shifter, and console. I also changed out the steering column too. The entire job was not difficult at all. Just take your time and do everything right and you can do it in a short period of time.

Hey Guys.. I am looking for a good Bench seat for my 68 Elky SS. I want to make it original don't you know. Do you guys live near Dallas/Ft Worth by Chance. Just as an FYI.. The brackets can be welded or bolted in. Both work. Welding I think is better.
