I got my 65 only a few weeks ago and I am 6ft 1 in. myself and it was much to close for me too. You can make a metal bracket and weld bolts to go into the existing holes and other bolts into the seat track. Or you can do the simple thing like I did and am sure there are fellow Tbird people who wont like what I did which is drill 4 new holes a few inches further back into the floor boards. I am going to cover the old holes with thin aluminum and spray undercoating over it. What a difference in the driving experience with the seat back for us tall guys.
Hope this helps and good luck.. Richard
