Need pics of 64 bucket seat floors

Does anyone have a pic or pics of the bare steel floor where the bucket seats and console mount? I'm going to be installing an original set of convertible bucket seats and console, and the car only has the mounting holes on the sides for the factory bench. I'm thinking I'm going to be fabbing up some sheetmetal mounts of some sort ?!?!?

You have the original mounting hole for the bench in the front cross brace and one in the rear of the seat mount which goes through the rear cross brace. mount your seat using those two positions and that will give you a location for the two inside (next to tunnel) mounting points. Best I can do for you.

He is right. I think there should be some detents where the factory guys would punch the holes for the buckets. I stripped my 64 & studied the floors with othrs I saw at the wrecking yards back then and they appear to be set up this way. Just punch the holes or drill them and that's it. The console is mounted such that the front edge of the console is in front of the front edge of the seats about where the coin tray ends. If you have a shifter, then move it backwards.
There is supposed to be a brace the shape of the hump for the rear mounting. Hopefiully you have this piece as it was welded at the factory. If you still have the underlayment in the Falcon, there should be some indents on it to let the factory guys know where to drill the holes for the sides of the console. Some factory guys didn't line the colsole up right!

The buckets had some spacers to compensate for the rear seats to get it at the right angle. I would set the front seat in their holes after drilling, then use various washers or something to get the comfort angle right. FYI, there was no spacers for the front of the seats. It rested on the cross brace. That gives you a big start as to the angle the seat should be.

The detents are there in all the floors I've seen. Floor pans as well.

But they're only there for Factory 64 buckets... Other makes may have different bolt patterns...
