It is my understanding that the 65-66 brackets are different then the 67-68's Bill and I will be addressing this situation in the near future.
I will be doing a side by side comparison of both brackets. I have a set of each but I can't get to the 68 brackets until this weekend.
Stay tuned to this channel for updates on the two different brackets.

I think brackets and tracks are being confused haha. The BRACKETS being what the TRACK/SLIDERS bolt to. My question is since I need different mounting brackets since its going in the f100..if I will need to change SLIDERS or if the sliders are the same. I don't mean to sound like in talking like anybody is stupid. Just trying to clarify any confusion.

I may be suffering from a mental block and request some clarification ... you're referring to brackets for 65-66 seat tracks versus brackets for 67-68 seat tracks, right?

it would appear that the tracks are different. By how much, dunno. I'll see if NumberDummy can shed some light on this.

If it helps I had a 78 Bronco with buckets I had bolted on the brackets a set of 71 Mustang seats and a set of 77 Mustang seats the 77 seats where nice and comfortable so maybe if original looks arent important a set of newer seats would bolt on.

65-66.. outboard only
67 deluxe interior, GT-500 pictured (one-year weirdness like some items on 67 Bumps!)
68 (early)
Late 68s and 69s can have buckets with headrests (or high backs starting in 69)

Well, with such continued success of the car there were constant running changes. My 65 is a cross-over and originally had some early 65 items like the carpet and hood bumpers. The carpet stopped at the rocker and the vertical face of the rocker was glued-on vinyl. Ford used existing stock until it was depleted and then continued with the "new" parts.
I have an early 68 that apparently got caught on the assembly line during a UAW strike that ended with higher labor costs. As a cost cutting measure, Ford removed a number of standard trim pieces including the interior A-pillar trim and padded dash trim that ran above the radio and glove compartment. My dash's knee pads were deleted but the pillar pads remained. The rear quarters also have a depressed marker light whereas those built after Feb 15, 1968 got flat quarters fitted with surface-mounted markers sourced from the Cougar. Then in mid-68 (June or so) the 289 was replaced by the 302.... see, lots of running changes.
67 Bumps are unique unto themselves in many respects and prolly have some relation to that UAW strike too.
