I have the seat bottoms and seat back that came uninstalled with my truck (not upholstered). I'm assuming they're the correct frames for the truck.

Since they weren't installed on the truck, I'm not sure how the seat frames are mounted. The seat back has a couple of brackets at the top that appear to attach up under the bottom of the headliner (haven't removed the headliner yet).

The bottom frames seem to just rest on the riser around the tank, but I haven't got them to where they seem to fit just right.

Anyone have any hints or pics on how these frames attach?

Thanks.

I have a few pics of my '38 coupe but I don't know how similar it is to the truck.

All three seats fit just as you describe. The seat back rests has two tounges that slip into a brace just under the rear window and and the seat rests on a saw tooth brace at the bottom of the cab behind the seat cushion allowing you to set the seat in three different positions. The seat bottoms do rest on the upright around the cas tank and more or less slip into place.

Thanks guys. I hope to start working on the seat frame soon, cleaning off the rust, reconnecting the springs where needed, painting, and reupholstering.

Meant to ask... are there an bumpers needed anywhere? I see them sold on some of the parts websites, not sure where they need to be installed.

Thanks
