Good question.

But, I think the seat tracks might be different for the 64/5 cars---not sure.

I can't help with exact knowledge because the floor pans had already been replaced on my 64, but I DID use the small second bracket at the front outside locations because my seats had a distinct lean without it. I'd suggest you try yours without it first.

64-67 floor pans are the same. Too properly install a set of buckets get the 4 piece set with the single outer/forward bracket.

Hmmmm.....cheaper maybe? Before they came out with the 4 piece kit, folks used to find donor cars and cut the needed piece out. Or put a whole bunch of washers under there. :D

on Ground Up's website the 4 piece is listed as 66-72 and the 2 piece is just listed as bench to bucket conversion brackets with no year application...will the 66-72 brackets work in my 64 ?

....will the 66-72 brackets work in my 64 ? That's the ones I used and the bolt/stud spacing fit my 64 bucket seat track fine. Might want to check yours before you weld them in. :yes:
