I`m picking up a 46 chevy truck project from a buddy soon and it needs a seat. It has to be a bench seat. Its going to be a rat rod with a hand made floor and I`ll probably build a new seat mount but I dont know what fits these trucks. Found a couple ford aerostar rear seats and a chevy extended cab rear seat. I guess I can narrow a seat but if I can find one the correct width that would be even better.
 
the chevy p/u back seat is probably too wide and I don't find them very comfortable. a lot of mini van rear seats are used but I don't know what ones are how wide or how comfortable. I would suggest hanging out at the soccer field and asking the soccer moms if you can try out their back seats and se what happen from there.
 
What Torchie said[cl. When I got my cab it had a Chrysler mini van seat in it. Has to be the old body style before they went to the split seats. Also some SUV third row seats are a good size too
 
Agreed, 3rd row bench seat. Take a measurement on your cab and do the light fantastic thru the junkyard. I got one that is 42" across. It fits a 31 A. But there are lots of choices out of vans.

yea smallfoot these seats are a life savor for us A owners ..... if the Chevy cab is like my 41 Ford cab it is not a "square " cab but "angled " and for a good fit the seat would be wider in the front and angle back ?

Second row seat in an Expedition is pretty narrow too, since it's a 1/3-2/3 split, you might be able to use the 2/3 {drivers side} section.
 
I have an expedition, the third seat is about right. Ill throw a tape measure on it in the morning
 
They are right at 47 1/2-48" wide. Apparently they made several configurations, when I googled them for a good pic only a few looked like mine '02 model.
 
'burbon 3rd row seat in my 39. Just touches the doors.

If you need front to back space like I do, go for a earlier one. Thinner back.
