Are the seats the same between the V6 and V8 cars?

A bunch of classic owners are swapping out the crappy 60s seats for SN95 ones and I absolutely LOVE my cloth 05-GT ones. I am hoping I can find a set either in a wrecked car or from someone who put upgraded seats into their car. I just need to know if I can consider the V6 versions or not.

Maybe you should just go to the local dealer and take a V6 for a ride, if they are comfy, then you can consider them.

I do not think there is a difference between the V6 and GT seats, it would just be more expensive for Ford to make.
 
Thanks for the replies guys!

I found a set for $175; V8, cloth, power driver, non-power passenger. Now I just gotta see if the bolt pattern has changed, the 65-2004 are interchangeable. Henry would be proud!

Not really. My 01s were not interchangeable. I had to fab up a spacer/adapter to properly mount them in the 66.

CHIT!

So at some point within the SN95 models they changed? From what I've been told the 97/98 seats bolt right in. How complex of a deal was the adapter and did it raise the seat height?

I coulda swore Blake told me it was around 97-98 when they changed.
The 01 seat bottoms are not flat, and they are not the same on the drivers side as they are on the passenger side. I had to make some funky adaptes to mount the 66 frames on them. The seats do sit nice and flat (I'm 6'1" and with my helmet 6'6"+)
