41-46 chevy truck bench seat options

[ajs]

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.

The ones from the older Chyrsler/Plymouth mini vans seem to be used alot.

That is one of the best ideas I've ever heard.

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

My 48 F1 needed a bench seat. I used the rear seat from a mini van, and it was a perfect fit.

Third row seat out of an 80's model Suburban works

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.

If It Helps

For my 45 willys cj i found a dodge ram back when it was a mini-truck, thin back and pretty comfie. Good luck with it.

I have an S-10 bench seat in mine. It came out of a 92 but any year will fit. It's comfortable and the perfect width.
