    My 1934 Ford Tudor is in paint this week and next which means I have about a month to decide on an interior set-up. I currently have front seats from a F-150 so they will pivot forward to get in the back. However, I think they are too tall and need cut down. I am considering a bench seat for the front instead as it will be about the same money to have the F-150 seat prepared for upholstery as buying a frame with foam. So I have two questions.
    1. Does anyone have an opinion on a full or a split front bench seat? I'm leaning toward a full just because it looks clean, but I might be missing something.
    2. Has anyone used Wiseguys-seats out of Elkart Indiana? What was your experience with them?
    Thanks

    It's not one of the options you gave, but I say bucket seats. A bench in a Tudor is going to be a pain getting into the rear.
    Get some buckets out of a mid 60's car like a Mustang. There's lots of aftermarket parts for them like foam and tracks.

    Thanks, that would solve the height issue as they would be about the same as a bench.

    A seat from any tudor style cars would be the best.... They are made to let folks in the rear seat...I have the original buckets in mine and they hinge so passengers can get to the rear seat...

    Thanks @3W JOHN I will send him a PM. @hemihotrod66 I have the original front seats, I just wanted something a little different I guess. Still trying to figure it out which is why I have not listed them for sale just yet.

    IMO nothing beats the original seats done in the original pattern if you have them. I used the stock seats in my 32 delivery done in the original pattern and after the upholster got them finished they were as comfortable as any late model or aftermarket seat. Plus they look right.

    @krylon32 That is still in play. I haven't sold them yet. Thanks for the opinion.

    We have a split back seat from a middle row import. Very comfortable , the backs are nice a period look square. But it does not really lean forward enough to get easy access to the rear. Something to bear in mind.

    @Kiwi 4d Thank you, that is one thing that I was concerned about.

    Weather you have buckets or a bench. as long as the seat slides forward, you will have the same trouble getting in the back seat. As long as the back rest will flip forward.
