    If it isnt a Maverick seat with the appropriate seat tracks(maverick/Comet) You will have to fab to make anything else fit.Including early 70s' mustang seats(the tracks are different).LDO buckets work but again the seat tracks for LDO seats are specific to LDO seats. They will work but they sit lower in the car.Hope this helps you out some.

    also starting in 75(some 74's also) maverick had a catalytic converter that have a hump right under the seat so tracks from 75 and up wont bolt into your 73 directly without mods

    Yup, see current thread...http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=44417

    All you would have to do to make the cat tracks work on a non-cat floor is cut off the tab that extends forward, and put in one of the bell-shaped spacers lined up with the front hole. It measures out to match.

    H.I.M. stands for His Infernal Majesty they changed it to H.I.M.(they actually sold some albums in the US under the name H.E.R.) because the people in finland couldn't pronounce the name correctly

    check em out you, might like them...if your into metal:party3:

    Gene, HIM is a band. HER is a woman. I am more into HER than I am into HIM...get it?(y)

    I was making a joke about HER, and didn't know that HIM had some HER in HIS past...

    I have gone cross-eyed...:dizzy:

    Honestly, I have never heard HIM...seen the CDs, heard OF him, but never heard the music. I may have to see if I can find some and take a listen...I really like metal...
