    I pulled bucket seats out of a 79 Mustang a while back and I am getting ready to put them in my Maverick. I took all the hardware that wasen't welded down, but I'm noticing that if I use the rails on those seats, my seats are going to end up lopsided.

    has anyone put mustang seats from 79-93(assuming they use the same/similar set up for the entire run of that body) into their mav/comet successfully? my maverick had bench seats so i can't use the hardware from them i don't think.

    thanks,

    Jim

    AngurisNeo, the floorpans on the Maverick/Comet are unique to the Maverick/Comet. In order to put in bucket seats without modification you will need bucket seat rails from a Maverick/Comet from a 1971-1974 which are the pre-catalytic years. Someone else maybe able to help if they did any kind of modification on those Mustang rails, but I have never heard of anything else being a direct fit with out some modifications.

    Good luck,
