    Would a 63 front bench seat fit in a 60 convertible?

        It depends on the seat.

        I have a 59 Lark 2DHTP with a split back/solid bench from the factory. I always wanted the seats that lay flat. About 10 years ago, I bought a set of seats from a friend out of a 62 Lark 2DSDN that was a split back, split bench (kind of a 60/40 split). What I did not realize was that the two halves are like two separate seats and do NOT utilize ANY of the same mounting holes as my 59 Lark. I decided to pull the seat back adjusters and incorporate them into my factory split back/bench bottom seat rather than drill (8) new holes in my floor and have to plug the existing holes.

        Will it FIT? Yes.
        Will it be a direct bolt-in? Maybe, maybe not.

          Maybe not all years, but at least some do use the same OUTBOARD floor mounts just adding the Tunnel Hump Cover Bracket to mount the INBOARD legs.

            the 60' bench seat, as stated above uses different floor mountings. They are outboard the seat vs. underneath on the later Larks.
