You are aware that if you buy rails to fit your floor, they won't fit your seats, and if you buy rails to fit your seats they won't fit your floor? The seats are from one era and your car from another.

I am just guessing but I would think the best way would be to buy tracks that fit the seats and you might have to make some brackets to mount them to the floor.

Certainly the idea thing would be to find some 67-68 buckets. Even with that, you would need to find some original brackets or buy some reproduction brackets for bucket seats.

 I purchased some bucket seat floor brackets from a 65 SS Impala from Tinman before he closed down

Have you tried to bolt them to the seats? It seems to me I once read that 65 rails are unique to 65 only.

 That would make sense, as 65 was an all new floor pan with the 64 style seat, and in 66 they introduced the Strato Bucket.

So by the looks of your seats you would need to find 65 bucket seat tracks to go with your floor brackets.

Those I don't have extras of.
