The 1939-46 design gives a totally different way the lower cushion adjusts. It sits on four front to back braces above the gas tank. Two of these braces have small pegs which fit into holes in the cushion bottom. In this way, the cushion can be lifted at the front and moved forward or backward.
NOTE: The lower and upper cushions connect where they meet. Thus, at least the lower part of the back will move with the lower cushion. Unfortunately, your shoulders and arms will always be the same distance from the steering wheel.

Cant seem to get them together in the cab.. The upper and lower seat sections can be hooked together in the cab if the two sections are positioned so that they nearly lay flat. It is a two person job with one person on each side of the truck. After the two are linked together the seat back can be hooked into the cab slots, and the bottom can be positioned in the four tracks. | | |
