Have a set of bucket seat, I want to install in my 67 barracuda. These seat are for this car, but my original seat was a bench type. In the picture I put green tape where I think the seats should be mounted. Is this the correct location? Don't want to make drill the hole in wrong place, and have to wild them close again.

I think the holes in the dimples is where your tracks should sit. They do have some flex and the dimples were there for bucket seats.
 
Another question,there are sheetmetal screw holes where the back seat is located. Are these hole factory, if so what are they for? Never seen this car assembled, bought a roller, and parts car. Now trying to put it back together. Here a picture of these holes. Thanks.

Those are probably hack job exhaust hanger holes, like mine.
 
Yes maybe, just want to make sure they are not needed, before I weld them closed.
 
Not sure why I don't recognize that section of the floor pan you pictured. The OEM pan does have dimples like center punch marks where it would have been drilled for bucket seats. There are reinforcement plates required/added at the 4 inboard holes too. The sheet metal alone is pretty weak in this middle area.
 
The floor is original for sure, don't know why it would look different. My concerns are the proper location of the seats. As you mention, I will add metal reinforcements to the bracket location.

On my ´68 fb, holes are for the extended trunk floor mounting...

Ahhh I see it now. In the 0Ps photo, I couldn't see enough holes to see that they were in a straight line. That's what you get by looking at a dinky little phone.
