Seat (mounting) compatibility through the 240's, '75 to '93 ? 200

Hi, all. I need advice. I've got a '75 sedan*, and I need to replace all the seats, front and rear, with seats from a newer car, preferrably the newest '86-'93 years, but even an early '80's car donor car would be an improvement.

My question is, I remember a long time ago reading that while the 240 seats (front and rear) are generally compatible throughout the 18 years of the model's run, there was a slight change in the mounting brackets or the slide rails, so that I have to get additional parts from the 'seat donor' car to mount these later seats in my earlier car. Is my memory right, and if so, what are the extra parts, and from which car, that I would need?

In advance, thanks very much for all your help.


[ * details: I have a '75 164 -- but in that unique year, I understand that it's pure '75 240 from the firewall back concerning the seats.
And, if anyone has a wrecked 240 sedan with good, brown (preferrably cloth, as my wife doesn't want leather) seats that they're parting out, and in the NJ (or vicinity) area, so I can come and pick them up to save shipping costs, I'd like to make an offer on those, and some other parts, as well.]
