What is the best seat to use for a model a pickup seat? I'm thinking about using a third seat out of a chevy station wagon. Anybody done this?
I dont know what the best way is , but here is what I am using. It is a school bus seat. Not only does it fit , but the frame is sturdy and should add some strength to that 75 year old cab. I am removing the wood from the back of the cab and using the seat frame in its place. Space is at a premium so every inch and fraction of an inch is a bonus
I used a mid 90s Dodge mini van middle seat, took off the headrests and bolted it to the A model seat frame. Works great.
