36 inches. No telling how much it's squished down over the years.

Re: A favor

my seat was just redone and it does sit higher with the new foam. makes a difference after 40 years. since I don't have a headliner in mine I set a bar across from the top of the bench to the top of the dash and measured. hope that helps. the last pic is from the bottom of the bar to the front of the seat.
