Does anyone else have a problem where there seats appear to lean inwards? My seats look like they lean into the center console. I recently bought spacers for them and the issue is still there. Any tips or suggestions? I will try to upload pics soon.
 
2 factors, the seat frames and the floor pan. Frames that are stressed from age /wear will lean. Cracks in frames also causes leaning. As for the floor pan, reinforcement plates at inboard mounting points should be present if this car had buckets from the factory. Where buckets replaced the OEM bench and those plates weren't added, leaning can result.
The most common cause is in the bucket seat frames. Pivot arm on back portion comes to rest on a stop post in the base. Look for issue there first.
 
Mine do in my 68.....
I'm gonna fix it (one way or another) when i do my interior in the future.
Not a big deal for me right now. ...but yes, mine lean in like yours.
