Your picture looks correct for the lower bracket. As Ricky pointed out the owner’s manual shows how you can adjust the seats for 3 different heights and change the tilt. And you’ll notice that the upper bracket that attaches to the seat is slotted so you can also get an extra inch or so of leg room.. I always considered these 2 piece brackets to be a poor man’s power seat. Unfortunately 1966 was the last year that Mopar used this set up, probably because it was cheaper to use a one piece bracket. I can’t tell you how many pre 67 Mopar owners I’ve run into that never knew the seats were adjustable. BTW this set up was used on both the bench and bucket seats.

Loosen a couple bolts and the brackets adjust quite a bit on slotted holes. I gained some headroom and leg room this way – as well the smaller steering wheel.

Had to make new holes in the floorpan, and wasn't too happy about that. Went to a smaller diameter steering wheel, too. On 7/5/2015 10:54 PM, dennis.1963ply wrote:
