55-59 bench seat replacement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Painter D · 06-10-2012, 07:54 PM

I was wondering if there were any factory bench seats out there that fit these cabs a little better. The seat I have in my 58 is not only too tall it's also too wide you can see what I'm talking about in the pic. I'm looking for one that sits at or below the bottom edge of the back glass.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have decided to cut the original down, but you could look at third row benches from several rides.

I used a seat from an 89 chevy truck and I pie cut the bottom bracket I think it was a inch to an inch and a half, it does two things hides the seat from back window and tilts it back for a more ergonomic and comfortable seating. I love it!

Those pics in my build of the seat are in the truck, they are really bad I had to use my phone but I will be reupholstering the seat soon and buying a new camera. If you like I after install, I will PM you and send you better photo's.
