What type of hardware was used on the floor? Thanks! Larry | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Larry,
Your title says AD (Advance-Design?) Panel Seats, but it looks like you are referring to a 55-2nd series panel?
Is that just a typo-error, or will an A-D panel's seats work in a Task Force panel?
| | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 531 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 531 | Hi Tim, others here have told me that the AD seats were carried through to later years. I believe the seats in the photos are from a 49 or 50 Chevy panel. My truck is a 55 1/2. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Larry,
If no one responds by next week, I'll be back home then and I will check the set of 1953 A-D panel seats that I have in storage.
I think the sliding track would be driver's and the passenger seat pivoted towards the dash with a non-sliding/non-adjustable floor mount.
If someone with a 47-55 panel responds regarding how the two seats are attached, would that help? Or, do you want a response from a Task Force panel owner?

I know seats are hard to find so although I only need the passenger side I think I'm going to bite the bullet and, even though the driver's seat has been cut up, buy both of them. Maybe I'll install a third jump seat in back. LOL
Larry | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 725 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 725 | Hi Larry, The tipping seat for the passenger side is exactly like what is in my '56 Panel. If you don't have the lower half of the passengers side mounts, they should be easy to make. The driver's side is different or missing parts compared to the two pair I have. The front of the drivers side mount comes down from the rail 3-4 inches and turns out to either side, kind of like an up-side-down "Y," while the rear is more nearly a strap on either rail. There are 2 bolts per corner on the drivers seat that attach to captured nuts on the bottom of the cab floor. Sorry I don't have any pictures.
best wishes,
Les | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 531 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 531 | Thanks Les! The guy selling them is asking about $250 shipped. Steep but then again, I haven't seen any others out there. Larry | | |
