OldSub, Thanks for the redirect to the pictures. My drivers side matches your photo's - now I wonder if I have the wrong set up or do you have two driver's side seats. I was under the assumption that the passenger side was the optional tilt forward type
I guess I don't really know... But these seats came out of a '53 GMC panel and appear to have been original in that truck.
Remember that while a Suburban would need a fold-forward seat to allow passenger access to the rear, a panel would not because they never had rear passenger seating. Also the backs of these panel seats I have do tilt forward.
I own two Suburbans and two panels including the one those seats came from. Of the four trucks, the one those seats came from is the only one that had anything that could be original in it. The others were all not stock or had no seats at all, when I got them.
