I know these sort of questions are supposed to be posted in the classifieds but I have tried everything. I am in great need of a bench seat for my 42 pickup. The fabric on mine is completly gone and the springs are too rusted and broken to use. Anyone have one or know where I can get one? Thanks. If you want you can email me off list. [email protected]

I will look around and see what I can find in my travels.
Have you checked with an upholstry shop? some of the better ones will completely rebuild your seat frame(Not cheap!)


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Thanks Mechainiac. The seat springs are beyond repair. The seat assembly was removed from the truck and left in the elements for 33 years.

I'm kind of a purist when it comes to my "bolt" When it comes to looks but am in the same boat and considering a Glide engineering bench with amenities too. Good Luck smile

Chris-

Currently rebuilding an ole bent, rusted bench for my '51. Through the Swap Meet I've acquired a few needed parts with the help of fellow Stovebolters. If you have specific needs, post an ad and wait a while. Lots of time in the restoration, but the purist stays happy. grin

BTW, I took a look at your personal site looking for truck pictures. Where's Fall Creek, OR? Interesting charity collecting and redistributing toy trains. Keep up God's good work! smile

Went to the junkyard with the older vehicles today and looked at the 41-6 trucks,no good seats. It seems the first thing someone does is to throw the seats on the ground and they get ruined. Jeff

I found a good set of seat springs,most of the material is gone but the springs look good. Someone has thrown them on the ground when pulling the motor and trans but only been out of the truck a few weeks,if you still need them email me. grin

I just posted a question asking if a 38 seat will fit 39-46. I have a 38 seat taking up room in my garage that I would love to get rid of. The frame & springs are great, but there is no upholstery. Feel free to contact me by e-mail @ [email protected]
