Those reclining seats are worth a good chunk of change to the Tbird guys. I have sold several on eBay. Also the power seat unit is valuable as well and both the Tbird and Galaxie guys will throw money at you for a clean good working unit. I also have several Tbirds and saved a set of 67 seats for my 61. Hawkrod

The seats don't really look wide enough. You might have some unsightly gaps when it's in.

There probably won't be any room in your cab for a passenger to enjoy the reclining seat feature...I think the seats themselves would look awesome...I thought the Mustang seats looked too small in a bumpside and without a center console, it just doesn't have a sport truck "feel" to it...Even if you "cut off" part of that console so it doesn't crawl all the way up to the dash, I think it would look pretty neat...

The seats and console would look good in your truck. That is kinda what I want in the 68 when I get around to it.

The old Thunderbirds are some of the coolest cars ever built IMHO :D
