Anyone ever seen or had this accessroy?
I have been around these trucks for quite some time and have seen quite a few accessories from this time period but have never seen the air cooled GM cushions. Anyone out there with pictures to prove they actually exist.

Re: Anyone ever seen or had this accessroy?
You've never seen the air-cooled cushions? There was a time when that was about all you could find. Nothing padded...no nylon, no leather, no beads, no nothing except these cushions that had a spring inner with a loosely-woven covering. Most of them went flat in the butt area an were tossed within a few months.

Re: Anyone ever seen or had this accessroy?
They may not have been so common up north. Maybe there is some old stock laying somewhere. It would be a cool show accessory piece

Re: Anyone ever seen or had this accessroy?
Any one remember taking them out of the seat and a pile of dust was where it was about 1/2 inch deep ?.. and if you shook them off ,you would be in a cloud of dust.

Even JC Whitney used to sell them. Maybe they still do.

The one I had in my '53 Ford had small coil springs that laid flat and were interwoven and was covered with a burlap type material... it worked. LockDoc

Re: Anyone ever seen or had this accessroy?
I can't remember the last time I saw one, but if you used them it meant you had no AC. Back then, AC was an option, and it was fairly common not to have it.

Re: Anyone ever seen or had this accessroy?
My dad swore by them, but after we moved to Utah, in '72, I remember dad complaining that he couldn't find them anywhere out here.

"Back in the day",They were more common than Saddle Blanket seat covers in the 80's.
I would like to see a modern version for when I cruise with the windows down.

Re: Anyone ever seen or had this accessroy?
I found one of these in a 1 ton truck that I just brought home. It has to be old because it is made in USA!
