Are the seat backs adjustable at all? I would like it to sit more in the upright position. I feel like I’m sitting too reclined, but it’s in the upmost position. I know in my ‘66 there was a bolt that had a little adjustment for the seat back. Plus it has new seat foam so I sit high in the seat, just too reclined.

Yes, on the side near door should be a lever that adjusts the angle of recline

I guess I should have said, is there an adjustment to make it sit more straight up. It won’t latch anymore upright. In the pic it is all the way up.

That's about it. If you want to raise the rear you can add spacers on the seat track.

I wonder if the seat back frame is bent. Some foxbodys have the gangster lean. Maybe both sides on yours have the “lean”. Was the guy you bought your car from, bigger? My drivers seat sits pretty far up. I hate the “ lean back” too. The car not having tilt wheel makes it worse.
