Sorry James I do not. It sounds like it would require a field approval. It may not be impossible because the P model had the slider seat later in the manufacturing run. Not sure if the H model was the first or if there were G models with the slider?

Good Luck

JeffAxel is an unknown quantity at this point
I think the slider seat started in the '75 P models. My '77 had it. The fuel tanks also changed in the '75 models with long range fuel going to 148 gallons, no tank switching except to cross feed.

Thanks Jeff, I need to find someone that has installed later model rear seats in a 1973 P model to establish whether it is possible.
