Can anyone tell me if the back part of the bench seat was completly covered or was there an open back on a 1957 3124 Cameo seat? Or did it have a piece of board there? Thanks, Leo T.

Leo - I've never seen that panel on any original TF seat, and it's not shown in the assembly manual seat instruction, but I have seen them on "restored" trucks ... also there was an optional seat, RPO258 "foam rubber seat equipment" that was a 'deluxe' option, and I think that was standard for the cameo [which had most of the deluxe options], and that seat might have had the cover - wouldn't have mattered on the small window cab, but maybe was added because with the big window the seat back is visible from outside

Are you looking for original look or something that looks nice ? You could make one and cover it with vinyl. or have your local upholstery shop do it for you. Tom

yes, as Tom sez, you'll need to make your own if you think it's needed - the ones I've seen are a heavy cardboard that were .... well, cardboard color grin but a type of carboard that is dense enough to be painted .... not corrugated, more like heavy boxboard, like the material they used for interior panel waaay back

Tom,
Yes, I am looking for the original look. I have the wrap around big back window,so I need to make sure that it looks proper from the outside.Now that the seat is out, I am not sure how much of the back is exposed. Thanks, Leo T.
