I don't believe so. Every now and then a set pops up on Ebay but they still carry a healthy price.

Troy,
You are correct... My mistake as I misread Kramer's Catalog. I just spoke to Cindy at Kramers. While the seat brackets look exactly the same, the 1965 seat brackets are two ( 2 ) different heights due to the 1965 floor designs while the 1968 seat brackets are all the same height since the 1968 cars have a flat floor design. Please disregard my previous post as I just deleted it.
Sorry

I have all of the dimensions (for 62-65) and was going to start repopping them and even had 2-3 outlets lined up for distribution.

Life intervened and I haven't been able to get back to the project. Lets just say they weren't going to go for the $385 and I planned on both aluminum and more economical painted/powdercoated steel versions.
