Anyone installed 87-88 Tbird seat's in a stang?

I found a really nice set of black T-bird seat's for cheap that I want to toss into the lx.

I don't see why not if you swap over the seat tracks (note: I haven't done this but I plan on trying it)

Worst case I attack the tracks with the drill press and make em fit.

My GT seats are trashed.

A buddy of mine has them. I figured I would borrow them ans check the fitment this weekend.

Oh yeah PM me if you ever need any custom chassis/welding done.

I have done it, I made a plate for them to sit on, they run across the two studs (across the front , and across the back). In the plate, i mounted a new set of studs to fit the width of the new seats. I can get you the measurements i used to make them if you wish.

The way i see it, those plates are proably reinforecing the damn floor pans! :twisted:

Yes I do have them powered, We tested the harness to determine the power and ground for the harnesses (we pulled the whole harness/control assembly with the seats) and hooked them to the same circut that powers my fan relay (not the best spot, but it does work ;) )

The Stang tracks should bolt right onto the Tbird seats without any plate. I almost did this with my car.

unless you have fox power tracks, you will lose the power adjust of the seats (depends if that feature matters to you)

I'm going to grab them this weekend and see what happen's.

I really need to get off of my lazy ass and get this thing back on the road.
