Hey folks, I have a 1963 fairlane and finding bench seats is tough. I want to cast a wider net. Does anyone know of other car models that may have compatibility?
US Falcon! same as the Aussie XR Aussie XR XT XW and XY fit straight in........ I've personally bolted an XR bench into a 4 door 63 Compact The 66-67 US model is available in 2 door with a split bench seat. Here's the US 66 model Here's the Aussie 67 XR Falcon .4 door only so they don't have a split bench, so not what @Raymond James wants [even though both bolt in]
The Aussie Falcons were all USA derived [one year behind] built on the same platform I know of a USA 2 door 66 Falcon that was converted to RHD by doing a front "cut'n'shut" with an XR front. The XA was the 1st true Aussie design but even then, the platform is similar to 71-73 Mustang [this continued up until the XF Falcon] I had a 71 Mustang that we used some Falcon suspension components in it [This is also common for RHD conversions] There are traps to watch out for [this requires knowledge] eg: rear leaf springs on the later Falcon are longer than the Mustang [you don't notice this when they are hanging, but will bind shackles]
