1961 Seat Width
 

I just ordered my seat for the 1961 Apache, The company I ordered it from offered two widths, 50" & 58" the seat is a 40/20/40 split. They kept telling me that everyone with that year truck runs a 50" wide, When I measure my cab from door to door I am at 62" or 64" I told them that 50" would be to narrow, they were a bit argumentative about it but I insisted that they build a 58" wide.
That being said I went out to my buddies 88 single cab, from inside door panel to door panel it measures 60" and has a 57" seat.
Anyone care to chime in about which width I need? Am I missing something?

I just did a "loose" measurement of mine to order some fabric, I got 55 inches

I know the 88-94 bench seats fit in our trucks great width wise. I definitely think you were better with the 58" wide. I wonder if their measurements are based on seat spring width or overall seat width.
