Hi Paul;
From what I understand, the seat track width is standard across many single engine Piper airplanes.
Therefore the seats from the 66 Cherokee 6 should work in a 73 Cherokee 180.
But to make sure, I would ask the seller to provide a measurement between the inner and outer gear legs.
In my opinion, replacing the seats with the Cherokee 6 seats is a minor modification which would only require a log book entry.
I have seen many reports of broken brackets, stop bolt flanges and deformation of Piper seat backs. It's likely that a mechanic will be able to spot the problem with your seat back and either repair it or take it to a local welder for the repair.
Let me know what you decide.
Steve
