As others have advised, 185/80-13's are the proper 
replacement/equivalent size for your '62, which came with 6.50-13's. 
Your '66 came with larger 7.00-13's. Unfortunately, there aren't any 
13's available that are larger than the 185/80-13's so those are the 
best you can do for your '66 too.

If you'd like to change to 14's, you might be able to find some 
205/70-14's which match the 7.00-13's in diameter. If you want to go to 
15's, 206/60-15's are a good size, although they are a bit small in 
diameter.
