The seats do not have any back lock latches on the sides. I found replacement covers on Laurel Mountain Mustang and one of their 66 colors is Parchment and it looks just like mine. Who Knows, after 44 years anything is possible

If there are no back locks, then yes it is a 66, could be I saw a reflection from the packaging. So the seats have a shade of tan to them for the parchment, you never can really tell from photos.

Those seats are from a 68-69 vintage

Nope. 65-66 vintage.

69-70 seats are much larger and are highback style.

Awesome truck! I am now contemplating bucket seats! I have been looking for a bench... Great find! I thought my 71 f100 was in good shape. Your truck looks great. Good work and keep posting pictures.

I have more info and a permanent thread that I am going to keep updated as work progresses, it is located in this same forum.

It's named "Tates 72 Highboy Restoration" Look at it for latest updates.

Here is a link to it.
