Ken, I think Sam had link to site that showed how to fit late model mustang seats in a 68.
All they did was re-use the old seat tracks, and fitted them to the new seats.

Well, what do you think ?? I couldn't pass up the deal (awesome price). The seats are in great shape (as you can see). Now I have to see how they look in the '65 ?!?!?

That's exactly what I want too, so I guess I'm gonna have to start calling some area boneyards. Good luck on fitting them, but where there's a will, there's a way.

He is talking about doing a rear seat delete. I'll find out for you whenever I get around to picking up mine !!! It's a long way for him to ship it though, have you looked on EBay ??

Everyday...
If the price was reasonable and the seats look good I would have no problem paying for shipping.

The one I bought on ebay had glass all over it and was shreded to pieces during shipping.

Oh BTW the fronts fit great.

You have to drill a hole in the bottom of the seat to fit the 65 rails though.
I can snap pics if requested...it's pretty strait forward.

Ken, you really know how to spoil your a$$.

Let me know how the seats fit.
