The top of the seat back hooks into slots on the rear wall of the cab.. The bottom of the seat back has two metal brackets extending down but whwre do they go? I read somewhere that the seat was adjustable. How does that work? I've looked at lots of pictures but never saw one of behind the seat. What's back there?

The seat bottom has two pins in front that drops into the front of the base. There isn't any seat adjustment. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 629 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 629 | 4d6,
I have read the same thing and also wondered what they considered adjustable back then. To John's point, I also fail to see how it is adjustable.

They were only about 1" apart (front to back) That's the only adjustment there is. Not very usefull.

(Or a previous owner drilled the other 2 holes in my truck) As the bottom seat is repositioned, the top bench changes position even slighter. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 553 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 553 | Well I finally got around to checking the seat bracket on my truck. And I'll be damned if it ain't adjustable! You learn something new every day. It's not much of an adjustment but it's there allright. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,048 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,048 | Yup my ’41 is the same. Pin sticking down from the front of the seat frame enters one of 3 holes in the slide guide bolted to the gas tank frame. The seat bottom has two slots at the back that engage the tabs on the bottom of the seat back. Darned simple. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 308 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 308 | Thats cool, I thought it was a one size fits all, I have short legs so this may help.
