Question- Is the seat the same for '48-'54? If not, can someone please give me some identifiers by year? May I assume Chevy and GMC used the same?
Thanks,
Brian

The only thing I know of being different is the seat adjusting mechanism. Earlier AD trucks use a cable system, that later changed to a rod connecting the two sliders. Although the Master Parts Catalog lists the seat springs assembly for 54 as different, but I don't know what the difference is.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

OK, yeah, I just found it. That change was in 1951. Thanks!
