Paul, if it's the same as '66 look around the underneath of the bottom edge of the cushion for two metal straps screwed into the floor/bulkhead. Remove the bolts and the seat back can be pushed up to releasing the upper engaging clips.....Disconnect the radio speaker wires first.

If it has the rear armrest, there are usually 2, 1/2" screws that are right behind the material valance in the cut out. Look down in the bottom corners. The metal straps may be hidden underneath the sound deadener. They are usually held in with a 5/8" hex head bolt.
