65,66 seat tracks
Just purchased a 65 Grand Prix and with me being 6'3" I need to find some seat track extenders. I've found some that claim to work on 66 B bodies, plus A bodies ,etc. Obviously 65-6 A body seat tracks are the same. Can anyone confirm that 65 and 66 seat tracks are the same?

I sold my '65 GP years ago so I can't provide a ton of help, but are you sure you've pushed the seat back as far as it will go? I'm 6'-1" with fairly long legs, and as I recall I could put the seat back far enough that I couldn't reach the pedals - I'd think there should be plenty of room for a guy your size.

I may be totally wrong on this, but isn't there a provision in the mounting holes so that the seats can be relocated to cater for an extremely tall (or short) driver?
I might be confusing this with some other car but it sort of rings a bell in my mind.

I know my friends Desoto has different locations to adjust the seat, but our Pontiacs do not. Being 6'8" 275, I can fit ok in these cars, but do plan to make some seat extensions for my 66. I would assume 65 and 66 are not the same as they are not the same seats, but have never looked. Best bet is to make your own setup.

I know the seats are different, but the seats will interchange with each other in regards to bolting them to the floor.

Well if these extenders truly fit a 66 B body, then I can definitely say that 65 and 66 seat tracks are NOT the same. No way these will work for a 65. We had the seats out today and they will not fit the floor pan or seat tracks at all. Anyone need a set for an A body or B body?
