About 10 months ago I took the seat that was in my 57 when I bought it, to the upholstery man. He did a beautiful job on it for $200 He made it 2 colors and rolled and pleated inserts for the bottom and back.

Now, I am terribly disappointed since I have installed it. I am wondering if it came out of something else.
The back hits the curve in the back of the cab and will not go back far enough to be comfortable. It likes 2 or 3 inches hitting the cab below the rear glass. But I have wedged it in the curves as far as possible.
Could someone give me a rough measurement of the length of their seat back on a 55-59 model?
Thanks very much.
