I know I'm a long way from installing new seats, but I have a chance at a free pair of seats, and I have to decide within a week if I want them. They are the wrong color, but that can be dealt with later. And just because I get them doesn't mean I have to use them when the time comes, right? So here's my question: Will bucket seats from a 1979 Ford Fairmont fit in my 72 two-door Maverick, or should I just let them get away? They are in my dad's barn, and it's about to get emptied out. Should I grab these seats and put them in the shop until I see if I need them or should I not bother? No use getting them if I can't use them. He SAYS he has the rails too. That remains to be seen. I haven't been able to find a list anywhere of what fits and what doesn't, and I don't want to let them get away if they are useful. Thanks for any info. Jean
As a friend of mine always says...a torch and welder can make damn near anything fit into damn near anything. Get the seats and work the fitment out later. Earl
pics.... I will be back out there tomorrow, and I'll take my digital camera with me. I need to get some pictures of ethel in the field. She's moving this weekend. Jean
Earl, I heard something similar, and that is "a blue tip wrench in the right hands can do wonders". Read "blue tip wrench" as torch.
grab the seats, if there decent you can sell them, and fo to fox-ford.net im sure one of the fairmont guys there would love thoughs seat tracks..
