Seems there are a lot of requests for correct buckets seats for Novas.
I've decided to get as much info as possible on the buckets seats from 1966 to 1974 Novas and have talked with Greg from Nova Research Projects about putting it on his wesbsite.
Here is what I am looking for.
Buckets - Any pics of original buckets from 66 to 74 and what year they are. I believe there were minor differences in the patterns over the years.
Tracks - probably the biggest problem with everyone is with the correct tracks. I need year, measurements and pics.
Floor mounts - I need the year, measurements and pics
The following is what I think know for sure at this time.
66 buckets - no headrest, backs do not lock.
67 buckets - no headrest, backs lock with lock buttons on the side.
66 & 67 tracks - same tracks, both are same height, the seat will sit level if sitting on the ground.
68 buckets - no headrest, backs lock with buttons on side but from chevynuts88 thread 68 Bucket?, believe the lock button is not in the same place as 67 and the backs are a little diifferent due to the buttons and the way they connect on the back of the seat.
69 to 71 - headrest installed, lock buttons in the middle of the back of the seat back.
68 to 71 - same tracks, different heights, seat will lean towards the door side due to the inside tracks being higher.
72 to 74 - tracks same height, seat will sit level.
72 to 74 high back buckets
68 mounts consist of four pads on floorboards for each seat.
69 to 71 mounts, two pads on outside tracks and the middle mounts go over the trans hump with bolts on both sides.
72 to 74 almost identical to 69 to 71 with the exception of the bolt placement in the mount.
I believe the bucket seat frame is the same for all 'A' body cars, tracks, headrest and seat back locks will determine years.
I do have one set of 70 bucket seats that have original material. I also have another set but am not sure what year 69-71.
You can post your info here for others to see and send any info to me at [email protected].
