    can i use LDO seat tracks with bucket seats?
    i have the high back buckets on the correct tracks, but i'm sitting way to high (i'm 6 ft 4). can i interchange the tracks without drilling any holes? will the ldo tracks bolt up to the bucket seats?

    if so, does anyone have just one set of ldo tracks? no spacers needed...

    I am not an expert here, but when I did my research for tracks I was told the only difference in the tracks was the position they put the seat. Higher like you have or lower like the LDO.

    I would think what you want to do would work perfectly!

    Yes....the tracks are interchangable. No drilling required.

    Sorry to jack the post but im about to buy some universal bucket seats. What exatly are LDO's The person I bought the car from took 66 mustang bucket seats and drilled new holes through the floor it makes a horrible sound when stopping or going. I would like to install the seats correctly.

    LDO stands for: Luxury Decor Option

    The LDO seats used a different seat track than the high back bucket seats.
