Have a fitment issue I’m trying to solve original bucket seat had the 6 way operator which is totally inoperable. planned on swapping the mechanism for standard seat tracks and being in 6’3” add a set of extenders to get a few inches leg room rhe bolts on the floor are spaced at 11.5 inches apart All the aftermarket tracks are 15.5 inch hole pattern had anyone had this issue. Any thoughts on where to get the correct seat track? I bought the ones from opgi which are supposed to be for any A body but they aren’t even close Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Frank, I can't help with the problem you are having but I sure can empathize with you. Power bucket seats are a PITA! Just spent about 8 hours the last couple of days getting mine out of the 66GS. Was stuck all the way back and down so it was next to impossible to access / remove the rear hold-down nuts! Now I've got to either repair or replace the transmission as everything else appears to be working OK. Good luck with finding the right tracks. Steve
This has a bunch of floor choices for seat tracks. Pictures of what you have would help.. https://www.npdlink.com/1964-1987-chevelle/body-exterior/floor-pans/seat-mounting .
Thanks Guys, GSman, I had the same issue getting the old one out, wound up sneaking a wrench up to remove the actual 4 seat attachment bolts to the seat base to remove the seat first them was able to remove the seat transmission and finally move the seat up far enough to get the nuts offs. lots of time and cursing! I wound up making a plate to extend the mounting point to use the "standard " seat tracks. Got the seat back 2" and now its just manual operation. I have the old parts from the 68 if you want them. not sure really what is good in it.
Frank, I might take you up on the offer depending on what I find as I dig deeper. I'm attaching a pix of both the relay & transmission that I have so let me know if yours is the same. However you might want to hang on to it in case you ever decide to put it back. I'll pass along what I find. Thanks, Steve
