Re: Skidmore '67 C20
Ok, so it's a bit smoky here so I decided to take a swing at recovering the bench seat in the basement.
I have discovered a bit of automotive archeology. This is the 1967 early bench seat. It has been recovered before. The springs are in alright condition as far as rust but the driver's side edge spring and z spring are broken. I plan to DIY some improvements as I can't find replacement springs, and they aren't exactly perfect from factory anyway.
Unique features of the 67 bench seat:
it tilts forward with a wingnut locking it in the back position
it has very thin foam on the lower seat
it has even thinner foam on the seat back, and thick coils (may actually just have been a bit of burlap and 1/2" foam)
It has rounded corners on the seat back
It does not have provisions for hog rings around the front of the seat bottom
