My '66 standard was missing it's middle seat when I bought it (imagine that). I was just wondering if someone could figure out which seat I need to buy ... 3/4 width or full. Thanks for your replies.

my '65 typ 221 is a 'neunsitzer'

it's my understanding that '65-'67 there were either 'neunsitzer' or siebenzitzer' models,:

7 seats being walkthrough with a 3/4 middle seat

3 in back, 2 in the middle, 2 up front

9 seats being 3 bench seats.

My knowledge is limited, but i woudl say you need a full length middle seat if you want to keep it original.

look on your cargo floor. if its a full seat the mounts will be in every indent in the floor, if its a 3/4 it will be in where the 3rd leg is on the full seat.

full seat, (uses all of the indents)

also full seat, uses outer indents on both ends

Thanks for the replies, looks like I'm in the market for a full-width seat. I pulled the cargo mat up & noticed the floor was exactly like the lower pic.
