I can't speak about that seat, but I can tell you about parts interchange. Yes, a bunch of those parts off the '65 will work on your '63. The fenders, hood, and lots of other parts will fit on the '63. So, you have a bunch o' parts now! Of course, you could always fix up the '65 and have 2 C60's. Just sayin....

pretty much the main difference is the windshield,cab,and doors,all related to the kneenocker wrap around windshield.60 to 63 for wrap around,64 to 66 for flat.The rest should fit!

the cab and passenger side of the truck is wiped out.
drivers side door is rusted out at the bottom but the frame and undercarrige are in good shape i am thinking that i can start with this frame get it all ready for my 63 swap over and build my 63 any left over parts from the 65 il donate to who ever wants them when im done with it {that is if the frames are the same} i still have to mesure and check everthing out

I have sone some chev trucks & there are all kinds of diff seats.
There are what I call 1/3 driver seats only.
Some are 1/3 drivers seat & 2/3 passenger.
Some Pass are 1/3 to.
Some are bench seats, Its what ever the custemer wanted when it was bought. Or what the new oner put in there when they bought it used.
I have a IH truck with a chev suberben seat in it, No leg room sit streight up. Knees hit steering wheel.

I remember seats like that in new several cab & chassis we had in our shop at the time. So, yes...I'd say it is original.

The only down side to swapping to the newer frame is the vin number stamped on the frame will be for a '65 not the '63...if that matters...

im not gona do a frame swap now because the 65 has had 2 cuts and welded places on the frame with a 4ft peice added in plus a 18 inch peice added on the end over all length 252 inches
