Re: 1950 Chevy truck- types of Bench seats
I chose to keep the original bench seat. The bottom required some spring replacement and frame repairs. The frame was broken in two places and i "sistered" steel channel along bottom to reinforce. I did consider buckets but removing the original seat base (that is attached to the floor of the cab) might weaken it. The original seat coupled with a tilt column may limit my beer consumption.
The original cab floor seems a weak point anyway especially on my frame swap with a k10. I added a full 2x4 steel channel under/across the front and square tubing at the rear between chassis and cab. The latter doubles as a seat belt anchor,
