New to site. Had owned mostly old Dodge trucks and worked on Mack and Internationals for my employer. Looking for seat and back for '41 thru '46 Chevy pickup in SE PA area to help out a friend. Any help?

Looking over this site gives me the restoration fever.

Hi BLC,Welcome to the 'bolt!
Try posting this request in the swap meet section.

There is a specific subsection for parts wanted.

It'll reach more folk and hopefully turn something up for you!

BLC,

Welcome! Repro seat covers are available from the two most common stovebolt suppliers, Chevs of the 40s, and Jim Carter Chevy. Check in the links.

That being said, the material I got from them is not rare. Seats were either brown or Black, not complicated. The replacement seat covers I got were not EXACTLY like the originals (seem in the middle of the riser, straight-cut corners instead of the "curved" insets of the seat cushion.)

I took the original seat cover to a local auto top and upholstery shop, along with the repro. $115.00 to match the material ("Ox hide" was the texture, I think . . . ) and cut it to the original seat pattern. I thought it was pretty reasonable. Pickin' it up tomorrow morning.

Why not give local a try?

Just an idea . . .

Does anyone know of any pictures of original seat from a 39 pickup. I have a seat frame that had been reupholstered at one time. It has been setting in my garage rafters for many years and has deteriorated. I am not sure if the pattern is the original design. I am also interested in fabric information. This one has a brown vinyl which appears to be of an inferior quality.
