Any of you bolters know if a 46 pickup seat will fit in a 37 pickup? If not, what old or new seats has anyone used that works . Thanks Bill

A 1946 seat will not work in a 1937-38 truck. Unless you remove the gas tank from the interior of the vehicle, nothing else will fit very well due to the fact the 37-38 seat is made to fit the riser and house the 37-38 gas tank. If you remove the gas tank, you can probably find several seats that will fit in the cab.

Take a tape measure and get a size range you can live with. Then head to your local You Pick It yard and start looking at smaller trucks and cars. Remember you can fab a mount to raise it to fit over any humps. shake

From memory.....I think I remember seeing a 37 where the original gas tank was left in place and the guy used some small bucket seats from a 19?? model Honda and had them attached to the platform around the gas tank and the passenger side tilted much like the ones in the old panel passenger side.

.....again, this is from an old memory but maybe get you to thinking.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

I have been told that the 3rd row seats from a few minivans, or small SUV's will also fit , Might find one out of a top end unit with leather ??
