Can you retrofit a front power seat into a car that
did not have it? How much trouble could you expect?
And how reliable have the motors been over the years?
I am speaking about a 1963.


In my experience, the flex-drive shafts that actuate
the gears from the motor to the seat tend to be the
things to watch out for and to check on if you get a
power rig from a donor or junk-man.  When they fail,
the seat no longer moves in that axis 
(there are three: F-B / U-D / tilt)

I would service anything that I was to put into a car
and expect long term operation out of.
