Post Re: Bench Seat Difference

BIG difference ! .

The early seats have a fixed backrest , the later ones have a folding backrest so you can reach behind it easily .

I used a folding seat in my '69 and when I had it re covered , I had the Trimmer sew in three huge , deep pockets on the back , I carry gloves , maps and so on back there as my truck is , well a TRUCK ~ I work with it .

Some will incorrectly tell you to remove one bolt to make the fixed back rest movable , this isn't so .

If you like fancy , there is a split seat with center console , called " Buddy Buckets " not my cuppa tea but *very* popular and often found in junkyards with bad covers cheaply ~ you can trim it to match your paint or whatever , looks very nice .
