Bench Seat?

I wish it was that easy for me.

I will have to say that I have absolutely no idea what year my current bench seat came from. The one in the truck was shot and I asked around and found a guy that said he had one with good springs that would fit right in and match the seat cover that I had already purchased. The seat cover was for a 67-72 bench and it DID fit exactly on the new bench-year unknown.

Nothing about the mounting brackets on the new seat matched the original one. Attachment geometry and location under the actual seat (therefore the need for new holes) were totally different. So was the height, I had to use some spacers to raise the new seat. None of the parts were interchangeable and none of the holes matched, but the actual bench seat was the same dimesions. The new seat also had a totally different spring design. I had hoped at first to just find replacement springs for the seat that was in the truck. New cover fit like a glove even though the mounting was totally different and the spring design was completely different.

Maybe the seat I was sold came from a C50 or something. Other people will have different results in swapping benches but this is just what happened to me.
