This is kind of a 'teachable moment' kind of response. I typed these words into "Search":
3 point seatbelt for front seats 61-64
And came up with this:

There were 5 posts that came up. The first 3 posts are directly related to this one or a similar one that's also out there by the original poster. Note the last two posts in the listing came up with links to threads from back in 2013 and 2011.
Now, if I put a space between 'seat' and 'belt' I get 7 posts.

A few more posts came up, even one I made back in 2005
.
Now, if I only use '3 point seat belt' in the 'Search' bar, I come up with 56 posts!

If I type in 'seat track extenders' here's what comes up:

Yeah, that didn't do much. Getting creative on words, though, along with spending about 15 minutes searching myself, if I type in 'drivers seat mount' I came up with a 28 posts with suggestions on how to modify the seat tracks for more travel or move the seat back:

Granted, posts come up for everything from installing 3-point belts on '55-'57s to newer cars, but a fair number deal with '58-'66s, and more specifically '61-'66s. I hope people get the point that there's a wealth of information stored here. If a person does a little digging, they may have to wade through some non-applicable posts but chances are they may learn a little something from them.
A different set of words in the 'Search' bar should yield some more posts. As Raven noted, this topic has been covered several times before - it just may require a little playing with search terms/words to dig up more. Remember, folks, there's posts in this Forum going back over 20 years. Sometimes part of the fun here for me is typing in a variety of words in the 'Search' box to see what comes up.
Long story short - take a few minutes to look around, explore and, if the answer still isn't out there, you may be better informed and able to describe what you're looking to do, especially if the topic really hasn't been covered in the depth that's needed. I like to think that our answers can build on the previous ones.
As they always say, "Search" can be your friend...
