    Does anyone know or have experience using the bucket seat tracks from a 1974 Grabber with the Bucket seats from a 1972 Grabber - will they bolt up and work?? Thanks - Dan

    I went the other way and put 72 tracks in a 77. The only difference is the passenger inside track. Because of the cat hump, the track is much shorter. I had to cut a pie shaped wedge out of the track and weld it back together. You will probably have to put some kind of extension or block it up.

    Wasn't 1975 the first year that the Cat convertors were put on Mavericks?? Shouldn't the 74 tracks be the same as 71-73?

    I cant say for sure which was the first year, but if you dont have the hump, then the tracks will bolt right up. There is even a dimple in the floor where you need to drill the holes.
