Shopping for salvage yard bench seat for my 1940 Ford Coupe. Looked at 2 different rear Dodge Mini Van seats - width looks good … backs are not too high … recline as well. But - they lock in place - no tracks that slide to adjust front and back. Any one have any ideas for tracks? Another option is a early 1970's Ford Maverick 2 door front seat. Located one - with is OK - slight trim needed - naturally it has the slide adjustment - but does not have recline adjustment. I do not have the original seat or frame. Prefer not to use bucket seats - wanting early 1960's type look. Any aftermarket support for new slide tracks - or ways to fabricate. I can weld.
Seems I saw a couple of ads in the classifieds for seat track sliders. Don't know if either would be applicable.
Adapt seat tracks from some other seat. I used ones from a Toyota bucket seat. Just lengthened the rod between the two sides. Sent from my SM-T350 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I've used an 80's model Chev C10 bench seat slider. It set the seat just about right and was easy to section the inch needed during the final fit.
There should be plenty of truck seats in the boneyard or on CL that you could take the tracks from and maybe rework .
.......and, if you get a seat from the boneyard and just use the sliders, don't throw away the seat. You know what they say, "Think globally, act Hillbilly"!
Installed one from a late model Dodge mini van - rear seat about 45 inches wide. Fit well - will made wooded side boosters to give it original styling.
