I stumbled upon a thread that mentioned that the '68-'69 seat tracks are a little taller than the '70-'72 seat tracks but they didn't say by how much. Does anyone know what the actual height difference is? Thanks.
Bucket Seat Tracks '68-'69 vs '70-'72

If anything I'd believe just the opposite is true. My 68 came with 71 buckets and I feel like a little kid sitting in his dad's car. (I'm 6'-0) I'm seriously thinking of adding spacers under the tracks.
I may have a definitive answer soon as they are coming out to do some floor pan hump work. I have 68 seats I can compare them to but it may not be in the next few days.

Yea, If you could do that I would appreciate it. From what I found so far, the only reproduction seat tracks out there are for the '70-'72. So there has to be some kind of difference if they aren't advertising them for the earlier cars as well.
I got that wrong in my previous post, we were both saying the same thing. I just put a 68 passenger seat beside a 71 driver seat.The 71 seat track is 3/4" shorter. 2" vs. 2-3/4". I took measurements on each and the height of the seat cushions are the same. (Not shown) The floor stud pattern is identical between the 2 years. For picture reference, the 71 CA tracks are pristine and the 68 Ohio tracks are a little rusty.
It was a pain to drag the 68 seat out of storage but thanks for getting me off my butt to check. Now I know why I feel so short with the 71s in my 68.
