62 B body power seat question.

[rustytoolss]

My wife has some health issuse's , and installing a power seat track may help her. My 62 fury has a bench seat. Can anyone tell me if the power bench seat track was taller than the non power track, and if so how much taller ? Also what other year/ models of mopars might have a power track for a bench seat that should fit my 62 Fury ?

I never knew that powered seats were offered in 62?
I remember front swivel buckets in my dad's 60 300F.

They are shown in my (online) 62 parts book.

Sounds rather rare and neat.

If it is to be temporary, adapt a junkyard power seat to the floor holes.

I don't know when chrysler stopped offering power bench seat. But I would think that most B body seats would fit in my 62

Yeah, this is not a temporary thing.

Just tossing something out for consideration. What about a power seat from a Cadillac reupholstered to match your interior?
I just ran across this one on Ebay.

FWIW, I am in the middle of installing two Cadilac leather bucket seats with integral shoulder belts in my 62.
The cut wire harness in each seat has 16? 18g? wires that control the 5 seat motors?. Trying to reverse engineer any control circuits might be for me a bridge too far. I need to be careful not to accidentally discover any high G explosive accidental seat belt tensioners.

My seats have been reupholstered, so I don't want to replace them. I would think I could add a power track for less $$ any way. Thanks for the idea though.

The heights appear to be the same at about 3 3/4 inches to the bottom of the seat. I don't know if they adjust up/down or just front/back as I have only ever seen this one which is in a 62 Polara 500 4 door. Second picture is the seat in a 62 Fury.

My 1964 Dodge Factory Service Manual shows a section on power front bench seat with mechanical schematics and wiring diagrams. A member here had a 1964 Polara 500 bucket seat for sale a couple of years ago. I bought the power frame from him and installed my '64 bucket seat on it. This power frame is nothing like the bench one shown in the FSM. In fact, this smaller frame is not covered in the manual at all. I can't imagine that there are many of these things out there. I consider myself lucky to get it.
