bench seat qeustion

[slepysal]

My truck had some captian chairs out of a van installed when I bought it. Since then I was able to buy a bench seat out of a '66 for 40.00. It is in good shape . My question is , are the bench seats suposed to fold forwards, you know like the seats in a 2 door car ?

The seat in my '69 doesn't fold forward...I always thought if the tank was behind the seat it didn't fold.

mine has a tank in the back and it folds but it doesnt have a lever or a locking system but the sliding of the seat foward does have a lever in the front of the seat that will alow it to slide foward

mine is the same as ldanny's, fold forward w/out locking mechanism, and the whole seat will slide foward when you pull the lever coming out the side of the seat.

My 66 folds and slides.

My '64 seat doesn't fold forward. I truely think that was an option in those years. The standard seat had a fixed back, poor seat cushion, and vinyl cheap seat cover. In the "true" custom cabs, the seat had better foam cushion, cloth seat cover, and the back folded forward.
