After a lot of chasing around and bidding for 'burb seats, only to be beat by someone willing to pay more, I have found stock appearing seats from a '58 International Travelall. The center seat is 39" overal length including the armrests and the back seat is 48" wide-a little narrower than the gm seat. But the schoolbus type frames with metal backs resemble the gm seats and most important, the price was right! There will need to be some mounting modifications, but nothing serious or difficult.
Email me for the photos if you want to see them or if you can post them here. grin

Here are some photos: The first two are the International Travelall center and third seats. The third is a stock AD 'burb with stock seats. grin

The overall width of the Travelall rear seat is 52 & 1/4"--the same as the stock gm seat (measured from the outside of the diagonal braces on the ends.)
The center seat cushion is 36" wide. The stock gm front seat cushions fit the Travelall center seat frame. The seats will be perfect matches for the original missing stock gm seats once the mounting brackets are fabricated (from half inch steel pipe.)
The seats are securely stored in a stovebolt vault, but would gladly be traded for the correct gm seats! By the time I'm ready to powder coat the frames and re-new the cushions, I may find the original seats. If not no one will know the difference once these are detailed. cool
