I'm brand new to Chevy trucks so don't laugh at my question. Can I put a Chevy truck seat in my 1950 Panel? I have the two original seats but have three people in the family and didn't know if a regular pickup seat from same vintage would work? I don't know how the back is on those, if it was separate or attached. thanks

It worked in my 55.1 panel. It had a single seat in it when I bought it and I put the bench seat out of a pickup in it's place. It wasn't a bolt up. I had to fab some mounts.

braink: much has been discussed on this issue. A search may turn up a lot of reading!
It depends on what your looking for. Originality or functionality.
Most folks say they are using a seat from a silverado, some say a seat from say a 2004 Buick LaSabre, some say a second or third row from a surburban....even an explorer.
The main reason if for the built in seat belts.... heated seats, power adjustment and so forth.

Take your tape measure with you to a junk yard and see what you find. That is what I plan to do for my panel. May get lucky and even find a matching color!!

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Thanks for the input at least I have a few options then. We'll see what happens. Gotta pull the eng/trans first then on to the front floors , then seating. Thanks again.
