Re: The Old Bench Seat

I'll agree on one thing, foam over plywood does not make for a good seat for driving any distance as does the wrong foam for the job.

I used plywood and what you would call camper foam in my T bucket back in the 70's and usually only drove it the 23.1 miles to college in Waco and then to work and back with some family running around on weekends and evenings. that 23 miles was about all my tail feathers could handle at one time.

Still just about the most uncomfortable seat I ever drove any distance with is the mid 70's Dodge St Regus (sp?) that I have had in the truck since the mid 90's. That is like sitting on a wood church pew during a long service as far as comfort goes but it looks nice in the truck and my buddy sold it to me for 10 bucks at his wrecking yard.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
