67 Barracuda Bucket Seats

-
The link you posted takes me to a divider panel. Anyway... I can tell you the 67 B'cuda shared headrests with Dart and b-body. These are not the oval pads w/chrome band. Correct for 67 is a triangular/wedge shaped pad.
There were variations in headrest post spacing also, so I don't know if the 68 and later oval headrest will work on a 67 seat frame.
 
The 69's also had a simlar wedge shaped headrest without a chrome band.

Steve, If its not too much trouble... lets look inside the seat backs too. Since those backs are soooo different, it could be that every 68 and later bucket frame has a cross beam welded in where the 67 frame could have this beam bolted in where needed.
The 67 back frame is a adaptation of the 66 frame. All they did was change the upper member from round to square and add the holes for headrest posts. They changed much more of it for the back cover change.
Just thinking that if these headrests were easily added to any 67 bucket, it would have been done and shared here.

To complete Redfish’s post for future reference for all looking to add headrests to ‘67 barracudas the holes in the seats are different between the three years. ‘67 measure 7 1/2” and ‘68-‘69 measure 8 1/2”. The headrests are not interchangeable. I just purchased a set of oval ‘68-‘69 headrests and they are too wide. The pictures confirm the post to the OP original question. Redfish states b-body triangular shapes headrests may fit as listed in his post.
