Hey guys. On my 65 GT, I have the seats adjusted as far back as possible. I’m 6’3 and it’s just too far forward still. Anyway to get them back anymore? Has anyone else had this issue?

The seat pedestals have some adjustments too. Try changing those. You may also be able to lengthen the adjustment slots to add more movement.
 
I had the same problem with my 66 Dart, only 6 foot but long legs. Had to drill new holes and move the seat back more than 2 inches. I then use 8-2 1/2" washers I found with 3/8" holes in them, one on top one on the bottom for each of the 4 studs to spread the load so the floor did not crack. Been that way for over 20 years now. Now my son who is 6' 7" looks like he is trying to eat his knee caps when driving the Dart, he can figure out where to put the seat when it's his car some day.
 
They do have adjustments to tilt the seat back in the front that helps some. Not so flat then.
