Default 64 vs 65 interior

Hello, am looking to replace front carpet in my 64 and can only find pre-molded pieces for the front that says for 65 model. I am not looking to be correct, so would this fit in a 64? Are there major diff. in the front compartments between 64 and 65? it also seems to simplify installation.
Thanks, Frank.

The difference between '63 and '64 with the '65 - '66 - '67 is the multiple pieces vs. the molded carpet.

If you want the molded carpets and the cleaner, simpler look, get a '65 to '67 carpet set.

If you are not looking to be correct, probably the cheapest and easiest way is to pull into an interior shop and just ask for a quote to do the job and let them supply the materials.

I had custom seats, carpets, headliner, and door panels done (<$1,900 in vinyl) for less than the cost of parts through the major vendor.

In fact, these guys did it:

Nah, the cheapest way is eBay. You'd be surprised at the number of cheap carpet sets you will find. Some fronts, come rears, and some complete front and rear.
