Guru's: need help on bench seat fitment

I have a 64 starfire. While the bucket seats are nice, frankly I want a bench seat so I can have my baby next to me while cruising. I found a 2 door 64 Delta 88 'whole car' that has a bench seat which is exactly what I want but frankly don't want the whole car.

I have found a bench seat from a 64 F-85 otherwise. Does anyone know if this bench seat will fit my starfire? Does anyone know what other years, platforms have benches that will fit my car....that flip up?

I did look and search in the classifieds here but not much luck.
thanks

You need the seat from the 88. The F-85 is narrower.

Isn't that car in the link is a 98? I think they are wider than the 88s. It would sure be a shame to have to buy a car in that nice of shape just to take the seat.

Longer, but not wider. The B and C body cars differ mainly in the wheelbase.
