Can anyone tell me how high off the floorboard the top-font of the seat bottom is on a stock AD bench seat (from steel floor to top-front of the seat bottom cushion)? I am trying to determine if I need to make spacers to raise up the late model Silverado seats we are going to use, and I figured putting the top of the seat bottom cushion the same distance from the floorboard as the original seat was the correct way to go. Or if someone else has a better suggestion, I'm all ears.

BTW, here are pics of the original '54, the refurbished S-10 chassis it's now going to be on, and the metal work we've do so far to the cab.

On my 54-3100, from the metal floor of the cab up to the crown of the seat (about 2" back from the front edge) it is 15". Checking out your pictures brings back some pleasant memories of my build. Good luck!

BTW...my seat has been put back to stock configuration....no sags or extra padding.

Dave,

Thank you for the prompt reply with the measurement. It'll be very helpful for the seat placement/brace fabrication work this weekend.
