If you know a place that reproduces these seats or has plans/blueprints for seats, please post that information.

I was just hoping to see what my seats should look like. I have all three rows, but no mounting hardware. Maybe i can make them if I see what they are supposed to look like. I appreciate your position and keep up the good work. Hope all is well, Richard

55 gmc I have a 39 pick up truck that came with extra seats. Do you remember the dimensions or what all I need to make them work incase I can't find any seats?

Go to this site at the bottom of this note. You will find in the second row of prints down a top and side view of the seats with the important dimensions.

I found a local guy to bend and weld up the tubing and a sheet metal shop to make the backs. I am using vinyl over marine foam rubber for the seats.

FYI the left front and center seat are the same dimensions so all you need to do is change the way they mount to the floor.

I am keeping the third seat simple, 46 inches wide.

As old and scarce as these vehicles are there is no one alive who remembers them any way so how can they criticize them.

They mount to the floor with key hole type slots and toggle bolts with wing nuts.
