The 69 Dart I recently picked up was an original bucket seat car but has a bench in it, I was able to find some 69 Barracuda seats but there were no seat brackets. I don't really know what the brackets are supposed to look like and wanted to see if anybody had used these from Summit, it looks like with some minor modifications they could work. Any thoughts?

The inboard and outboard tracks are different heights. If my memory serves they have a little bit of front to rear ramp too. With all the measurements you could probably make those work.

they're likely going to need some fabrication on the bottom to get them to fit to the floor. I've used that style before not this particular one but with the leaver out front and it would hit the bottom of the bucket seat before it would release so needed modification also.
But honestly at this price you shouldn't be doing any modifications. That's about the going rate for some used ones that will probably fit without any adjustment.
I bought a body buckets with tracks for $200...
 
Yep, crusty OEM tracks bring around 200 today... If you can find them. YouTube videos show how to take them apart and renew them. Good luck either way you go.
 
been looking for some, scarce to find without some restore anyway, one of those things you can get into more than you want if not careful, I don't need them ight away, the bench was just recoved and in good shape, thanks for the info.

Yes good not to be in a hurry. Just watch your local Craigslist and keep an eye out at the swap meets...
