Bench seats?

[Stephanie]

Hey

So I have been looking through sites and ebay and haven't really come up with anything. Does anyone recommend a place to search or keep my eye on for a 1950 bench seat? Or do you have recommendations on what year bench seat would fit our truck well?

Thanks in advice!

If I still have it I will give you what I have left of mine I might have a complete seat between the two trucks I have. The bottom is gone on the one out of my 49 but I have a 53 in a field on a friend's farm I think it has the bottom I'll have to check and make sure I still have the 49 at school.

p.s the 49 is in Jeff City

Oh awesome! Thanks so much for the response and for checking on them! I really appreciate it

It might be saturday before I know on the 49 seat I am working in Columbia filling in for a guy going on vacation this week but I will let you know I might have other stuff you can use.

Ah, that is wonderful And take your time, we are far from needing to fit a seat, I just wanted to start looking for one, haha! Thanks again!

These guys make a pretty nice cover for the factory bench if you go that route

Thank you both for the recommendation! I checked out the site and looks great Bookmarked it for when we are ready to get the seat finished. How is the pricing? Fair?

My seat was $210 shipped but I live maybe 45 mins from the shop...I thought it was pretty fair considering you pay the same or more for LMC and what not

That's a decent price for sure. Man, wish I had known about them when we lived in TN! Haha! Just moved out of there a few months ago :P

Yeah, the only bad thing is since they are custom made to order it does take several weeks to get the item

Just means I can justify getting our seat completed now, instead of waiting

Stephanie,
No 49 seat at school but I have the 52(not 53) in a field in Rocheport Mo. that I need to get to school for parts, I hope to get it to Jeff city by the first of the school year, You can have the seat and maybe a few other parts you need, I am happy to give it to some one that can use them. I was hoping to have it out of the field by now but it hasn't worked out yet.

That is so wonderful! Thank you so much RootBear 6117! Let me know when you are able to get to it and we can work out shipping/traveling out there. Is the seat intact? Or will I need to look for a top or a bottom? Thanks so much for the offer of parts. We could definitely use a few Would love to know what you are willing to part with/sell

I believe it has a complete seat I am sure it will need redone but if you don't have a seat it will be a starting point. I will have the truck in Jeff City Mo about 50 miles (give or take) north of St Robert Mo. I will let you know as soon as I get it to Jeff. I have pile of parts from my 49 I holding on to just in case but I am limited to what I can keep around, I mostly need body panels off the 52 I won't need the engine or transmission

Looking forward to when we can work out the exchange I'll await your message on when you are available to do it.

As for parts, will you be needing the grille, grille lower support, or the hood latch panel? Those are smashed up really bad on ours, so I am keeping my eye out for those pieces. Any you would be willing to part with/sell?
