seat racks for a e body

[Racecar32]

Anyone know how the seat track mounts on the bottom of the seats ? I have new seat tracks but hadn't started taking the driver side off to mount them yet. Just looking to see what is instore before I start . Thanks

There are two bolts per track that fasten through the track ends and thread into the lower seat frame.

These pics don’t show the bolts but do show how the tracks are oriented. These are 70-71 style seat tracks.

I found this thread for looking photos to help me reassemble my 72 seat tracks, which I have cleaned and repainted.

On the 70-71 cars, what are the cables between the seat tracks for? My track sets do not have the arms for the cables, or the cables themselves. Mopar must have discontinued them.

Just curious, thanks!

Also, will any grease do to lube the tracks?

The cable is to release both adjuster tracks. I thought all buckets had them, but I'm mostly familiar with 70 and 71. Maybe 72 - 74 only has one adjuster track and the other just slides?

I usually just use grease from my grease gun that I use to grease ball joints and tie rod ends. Just a little bead and spread with my finger.

I too only have experience with 70-71s but seem to recall hearing that later seats had only the one outboard adjuster track.

I used white lithium grease, which I believe matched what the factory did on seat sliders and window tracks.

Thanks to both of you. Looks like one adjuster track per seat. Here is a pic of the passenger side set I have. The parts are still separated and the springs are not in the pic.
