Default 1966 Bucket Seats interchange

Are the front bucket seats the same for a Bonneville and GTO just with different tracks?

Somebody who knows for sure should chime in, but it is my belief that that big car buckets are slightly wider than the LeMans/GTO.

Thank you for the replies. I had found a 66 GP with headrest seats and a 421. The 421 is a YF 389. The car has such bad rot that its not worth saving. So I passed.

I was able to use the reclining seat and headrest frame from a 67 GP, switch to my original GTO seat springs, foam, and seat cover with no issues.

I got a set of reclining headrest seats from a 66 Riviera. I measured the distance between the screws that hold the bottom skirts on. The skirts interchanged between my 66 GTO seats. Both seats measured 10" between the outter screw for the left and right skirt. I measured the distance between the left and right track bolt holes and both were 13". The tracks were different though. I don't know if the E body Riviera seats are the same as the B body, but they are the same as the A body.
