A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Ford Thunderbird, 1967 to 1971. Part number SB232.
The four door Thunderbird
This is the generation where Ford offered a Thunderbird with four doors and rear hinged suicide doors, which is one of the odder decisions in the model’s history and the reason these cars have a following now.
It is also the generation that moved the Thunderbird firmly away from being a sports car and towards being a personal luxury coupe, which is what it remained.
Which decides what should go on this bracket
A modern black carbon racing bucket in a car like this looks absurd and will make it unpleasant to drive. Ask us about retro trimmed shells and reclining seats, which suit the interior and the way these cars are actually used.
We would rather sell you something that fits the car than something that fights it.
Practical
Fifty five years old and American floors of this age are rarely original. Get the carpet up and look before you spend anything.
Handed, so order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026, and Customer Car: Subaru Impreza With Corbeau RRS Seats and Planted Technology Brackets. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Ford Thunderbird (1967-1971). Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
