Needing a truck seat...

[fastchevy49]

Anybody know of a replacement seat for a 1949 Chevy 3/4 ton truck.
The one I have is in pretty bad shape and I'll get it redone..(one of these days)..but I need something that will fit in there with as little work as I can get away with. Still working 6-7 days a week and 12-14 hrs a day and have very little time to spend on working on it, but would like to cruise around a bit when I do get time off.
Thanks, Russell

What I did for my seat. It is one of my favorite things about the truck. Made the truck SO much roomier!

Very cool Flipper.

I've seen used metal office chairs with the legs cut down and welded or bolted to the floor.

Is the seat frame welded in???

By the looks of it, the seat frame is welded to the floor, is that factory or did a previous owner do that??
Thanks, Russell

should have 4 bolts on the sliders you can remove it from the base

I found a bench from a 1988 GMC truck that fit perfectly in my 48 for $30:
