I'm curious if anyone else has come across this. I have an early '65 Coupe T-Code Automatic built in January that has the front seat belt anchors further forward on the shaft tunnel than those found on reproduction floor pans. The passenger side anchor is a good 3" further forward just behind the seat platform; the driver side not as much. I also recently saw another '65 coupe, C Code Automatic, with the same anchor placement as mine. Does anyone know if there was a special reason for this or is it just how they were made at that time?
Thanks
Ray

Jan 65 built? That would make it a mid year build rather than an early one ;)

Guess yoru assuming that the reproduction floor you looked at are made correctly.
Are the measurements to the front and rear edge of the floor panel?

I guess I meant built early in 1965; as I always tell my kids...go by what I mean, not what I say; thanks for straightening me out. It does have some 64-1/2 features I'm pleased with; chrome wiper posts and the letter A on the air vent knob.
Anyway, yes, the measurements are from the edges of the floor pan. The reproductions I saw were made in Canada and claimed to be correct; they obviously are not. Other than that I've only seen photos of partial and complete floor pans made by various manufacturers; all had the anchors set farther back.
