Up to 79 had the same floor. The seat track mod for seats up through the 90s is REALLY EASY, so don't rule it out.

So could those tracks be used on a 66 with the in cab gas removed to get more "Belly room" ?
As my dad used to say, somewhere there was a horse that died a painful death from terminal constipation due to missing a key part of its anatomy.

Obsa, the lower half, the part that bolts to the floor is what is longer. The bolt holes in the floor are farther apart, front to back on super cabs than standard cabs but the upper half is the same. Tom old.gif
