67 Front seats

[FordDude]

I now have access to my 67 coupe after cleaning out the garage. Looked inside and the drivers seat is all cracked and needs new covers. But the question is that I was looking at some used seats for sale and they had no tracks. Are the tracks the same on a 69-70 highback seat as the tracks on my 67 seats?

According to some catalogs , there is a difference between 65-68 and 69-70 seat tracks.
Maybe someone can measure the mountingpoints of 69-70 tracks to the seats.?

Cool car Dude. Like the colour

Could you use extension tracks and mount the seats to those?

I'm pulling my driver's seat out of the 70 this week. I can try to get a measurement for you.

That would be great. Can you also take a picture of the underside. The 1/4 - 20 threaded bolts that go through the floor have the same pattern/dimensions from 65 to 70. IDK about 71-73, never had one. But it is how the frame mounts to the seat is what I am trying to find out.

If I can get off my lazy butt, I could put the seats I got from Angelo in my car and have the seats out of the 67 with tracks available.

Here's a couple shots of the underside rails.

The bolts that go through the floor look to be approximately 11 1/8" apart.

The bolts holes that attach to the seat are approximately 11 1/2" apart.

I wouldn't think they are different. I put 69/70 seat platforms in my 67 to lower the seats and the seats I had in it went right back in...

Are those seatplatform from a 67 ?
Glad to hear from you again Craig .

Thanks! and no I cut out the 67's and put in 69's. They make the seat sit lower so my head isn't sticking up into the headliner!

You need the Gurney bump.
Or the Jethro sunroof.

So the reason I took my seats out was to install seat track extenders from CJ pony parts. It was a black Friday special.

They add almost 2" of extra leg room. Much more comfortable for my long legs. I highly recommend them.

The only draw back is you can see the front of the tracks more now.

I like those Pat. I am 6 foot and have my seat all the way back but that works for me. But I had to lower mine. I must have a longer body from waste up cuz my head was up in the headliner. In fact I couldn't wear a hat when driving. The 69 seat platforms lowered a good inch or so over the OEM 67 platforms

I've got no roof, so height is isn't the issue for me.

that's what I should have done... cut the roof off!
