Seat Track Restoration

Anyone have a lead on where seat track parts can be obtained? I need a roller assembly. I've been able to get the tracks apart and remove the rollers but one of them has a broken cage assembly which I would like to replace. Appreciate any information anyone might have.

Thanks!!

I've never taken one apart. But I wonder if the seat tracks from a bench seat would have the same parts inside. I could probably come up with a set of bench seat tracks at a pretty cheap price. John

Is this for bucket seats or bench?

Hey John....I would suspect the internal parts are the same. If I strike out on finding a parts provider I'll be in touch. Thanks!!

I know someone who bought the tracks from Ground Up (3rd link) and he says they're good. BTW, doesn't matter if it's for Chev, Buick, Pontiac or Olds - these seat tracks were all the same.

If you strike out, you can try e-mailing Paul at ros6872@hotmail.com. I purchased many parts for my 71 restoration from him. I thought his prices where reasonable and he was honest in discribing condition. I made a few road trips up to CT. to bring some door panels and truck lids back and he had a pretty large selection od Olds parts.
