I posted some pics on my site of my new seat in my 66. The car is not even close to being done but I wanted to take some pics of it to show people what some scrounging in the yards could come up with. This seat is very comfy and cheap

Came out of a 90's Grand Prix LE it bolts up fine to the existing bench seat holes in the front but the rear needed to be extended slightly no big deal and it feels great.

I welded a small tab on to the seat rail and drilled it so ot would line up with the existing holes. I will post a pic soon. I am also going to install the seatbelts from the same car w/reels just have to figure out how.

I put about 1990 GM junkyard seat belts in my 67 - the post in the 67 has 2 holes drilled for what was the optional shoulder belt. Not sure if the 66 has these holes drilled from the factory but if there there you can use them for the shoulder anchor.

You will need the anchor plates too
