i have been looking for 66 buckets with tracks for years

Ha! I was of the same mindset for my Polara, and got some buckets from Murray Park over a decade ago. Then I got a parts car, but it only had one correct bucket. I didn't realize the 500 model was what I was after. I got one of those because I couldn't pass it up. Then I got a Monaco 500, and will shortly be getting a second one, most likely a parts car. I need a set to recover for the Polara 500, as the foam and fabric is shot. I will have a spare set, and will have three other seats, one complete pair, and a driver's seat, early next year. I'll know what I'm doing by spring. I won't commit to selling before I have them in hand, but I will be selling at least one set.
And for the record, I got the correct bench in the Polara, and I love it! I do like having both a bucket and bench seat car, they are great for different reasons.
And I have a spare '66 console, and a '69 console. (It's all this sites fault!)

Hey Scotty, do you know what differences there are between 65 and 66 Monaco interiors? (Other than shifter and console changes...)
Door handles, arm rests. There are other differences, but I can't remember off hand...
The 66 console doesn't extend into the rear seat bottom, does it?
I don't believe so, but there may have been an option, since the 66 Charger did that. I always thought that would be an excellent look for a 66 Monaco 500, and considered doing that to my green car. Never did though, as the Charger ones were a couple of inches short...
Yeah, I've got a 65 Monaco but don't think the interior is an easy swap, too many changes I think.

You have two 65 interiors parked inside and I have three 66 interiors parked inside?
As Ross said above, doors handles, arm rests, not sure about the rest.
The console does not extend all the way to the rear seat. I did see where a guy took an additional storage area part of a console and out it where the extension bolts up to the '66 console, which is a heavier fiberglass vs 67 and later which is ABS (?) plastic.
And the Charger console extension is too short to reach, and turns up to join the rear seat divider that completes the full length look. I got one of those too.
I'd still only have my Polara, Dart and truck if it weren't for this site.

I have a 1968 300 parts car with White Bucket seats. I am parting the car out, and do not need the seats. they do not have the same pattern as the Dodge, but the frames fit the two cars. The center arm rest is there as well.
