    I don't know. This is not a Falcon forum.

    No, the 1965-70 Falcon Futura was built on the different platform called the "X", Mavericks were "P" platforms.
    *Trivia - the 1970-1/2 Falcon was built on the "B" platform which is basically a Torino with window door frames. Short lived model, discontinued in 1971.

    Good donors for that seat would be '66-'69 Fairlane, Torino, Ranchero, Comet, Montego, etc. All of those are the same width and use the same tracks.

    66-70 Falcon used a lot of Fairlane parts...like the windshield and both Falcon and Fairlane station wagon's share the same tailgate glass. I don't know if the floor pan is the same, never messed with the big birds. It might be worth a try and see if the seat fits.

    For '66-'67, a Fairlane wagon IS a Falcon wagon, only with with a different doghouse. Check out the difference in the "dogleg" of a Fairlane wagon and a 4-door sedan. The wagon is shorter. The Falcon sedan has a slightly shorter wheelbase than the Fairlane, but the sedans share all the same glass, roof & doors.
