Have you put a tape measure across that AD seat assembly? IIRC (please don't shoot the messenger) the AD series seats are wider than the 1941-46 "Art Deco" series seats. Here's a screenshot form the GM Heritage 1941Chevroket Truck PDF that gives the dimensions for your '41 so you can compare to the '54 seat.
