1950 suburban chevy...

I recently pulled an original driver side front seat out of a 54 suburban. I'm wondering if anyone has welded the tubing on the bottom and sides to convert it into a middle seat?

I thought about it, but it was easier to make it from scratch.

There are enough middle seats still out there that trying to make one out of a front seat will be more difficult than just locating a middle seat to begin with.

Nice work on the seats. Can you and will you make a middle and rear seat for someone? What did you use for seat springs? I need a set please please please. I only have the interior left for my restor on my 1948 Suburban.

Mark,

Welcome to Stovebolt.com.

Regarding: "Can you and will you make a middle and rear seat for someone?"

Please continue this discussion in Private Messages and/or email.

You might not be able to use Private Message until you have made around five posts (about your trucks - or truck-related questions).

By the way. Mother.Trucker sells parts and probably has that seat frame for sale. He cannot contact you until you have made enough posts to be able to use Private Message.

I did some about 10 years ago I had some legs bent and arm rest and welded them up. For the third seat I removed the back metal cover stretched the seat welded the legs and made a new metal back cover. Not too many people were reproducing the frames back then.
