Technical Help identifying these seats

These bucket seats came in my 40 Ford and it looks like they were done in the late 70s early 80s, best guess. I have tried to figure out what they are out of just as a curiosity. The chrome backs are cool.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Those sure are neat but WTF is going on with your column shift handle???

 

late 40s to mid 50s Chevy panel truck seats. Someone got the panel chromed, they didn't come that way.

Shifter is out of the way now, so it won't bang his knee, since it's not hooked up.

 

Which shifter? Lol. Have not got around to taking the column one out yet.

You should keep them, they are cool looking.

 

Definitely panel truck seats as Squirrel says, I have had several, there are a few different versions, not 100% what year these were from but I believe they were used in one form or another at least until 1959.

 

Definitely keeping them!

 

Thanks for the input.

 

shifter? I thought it was a turn signal switch....

 

I like that idea....hmmmm
