stomach.
Yes, since 1965, IIRC.Tilt/telescopic offered?
Can the bench seat itself be mounted to the floor further back? I seem to recall there was a different set of mounting holes in the seat base...
1966 was the last year for that adjustable non-power seat track, as I recall. But it should also fit the later '67-'68 models too, I suspect, as they are (or should be) the same floorpan stampings.
One needs to be a bit careful in just drilling holes in the floorpan, though, to me. Some areas might be stronger (and better able to support weight, due to their shape/design) than others might be a few inches away. Which is why the power seat orientation makes more sense to me.
Enjoy!

Grant have nice streering wheel toBest way is to lose the belly, but that's easier said than done. I've been there, done that, so I can say that it works, but is difficult.
Easiest and cheapest way is a smaller steering wheel. There are some very tasteful aftermarket wheels available.
Flaming River has aftermarket adjustable steering columns and that may be a good alternative to finding a stock adjustable column.

I know on my 67 Barracuda (buckets) and my 69 Polara (bench) if you take the seat out and look at the studs on the bottom of he seat you will see a couple other mounting points to move the studs on the seat adjusters. I think the default location is the middle, you might gain an inch, not sure if you can drill more.I guess I didn't make myself fully clear. I thought there was a separate set of holes further forward on the actual seat frame, which would put the seat back by some 2-3 more inches. No modifications would ever be made to the actual floorpan.

On the bottom edge of this picture you can see the mounting studs, the holes on each side are the alternate mounting locations.
