1971 seats on a pre 1970 seat tracks

[0BudgetProductions]

Folks...
I picked up a pair of 1971 Seats (bottoms) thinking they would slide easily on the Pre70 seat tracks. One expert told me it was no problem "just use a rubber mallet" then (after I got them home) he told me that they weren't compatible.
Before...I throw them in the back of the garage...May I ask... Is there anyway I can use them? Is there some sort of "hack" that makes them fit?

Thanking you in advance....

i've seen plenty of those seats jammed onto the earlier tracks...they rock front to rear cause theres about 1/4 of play between early and late and can fall off real easily...dont do it...either salvage the correct tracks off another floorpan or put that upholstery onto your seat bottoms

Thank you....
I'll stick those on Craigslist and wait for a pre70 to hit the junkyard...

Thanks
