all 65 and 66 fb's had a folding rear seat unless it was a 65 shelby.

I put that one there to show the height of the bracket compared to the height of the side of the seat

You can usually tell by looking at the side panel where the latch mechanism is located, whether the bracket & cover panel all looks factory correct or it's been a DIY fitment.
Can you add a photo of the side latch area?

I am not able to take the side panels off yet to take a picture but looking through the latch hole the welding does not look like it is done in the factory.

By the thickness of a 2 x 4 which is around 1 3/4 inches thick . That is a huge amount.
