    What is needed to convert a manual strato bucket to a power seat, preferably 6 way?

    I believe you need the power bucket seat tracks, plus the motor and wiring. The driver's side bucket seat that I will be putting in my '72 used to be a power bucket seat but it was removed before I bought it so I'm putting on regular bucket seat tracks and leaving it manual.

    Chris,

    Thanks for the info. I am currently watching the power seat track on ebay (ends tonite!). I'll read George's article and see if I can make this one work.

    >>Good luck Lee - hope you get the set if it can work for you. I never really move my seat so a manual seat is fine for me.

    The '68-'72 A-body power seats were ony 4-way power seats - either bucket or bench. I do not know about the '73 Century/Regal/GS's, though. As far as the '68-'72's for conversion, the outside driver seat floor bracket is different and needs to be changed ...or at least the rear portion of the bracket replaced.

    There's a conversion bracket for these, about $40.00 on line. Cheap enough that I don't have to make one.

    I am going to look at cannibalizing the 6 way power seat I have now and stuffing the guts into the strato bucket.

    That would be quite interesting - keep us posted on this!
