47-55.1 The Old Bench Seat

[Chopped53]

Yes, fitting a seat into a chopped truck is tough. I removed the original mounting frame and also removed the gas tank. Then mounted a seat with a very thin back right on the floor (no sliding mechanism). Had to mount the steering column lower than normal too (it's a tilt/telo from a 68 Olds). Finally, I tilted the seat bottom up at the front, similar to the way they do it in the old 30's hot rods, to get some leg support. It might look a little funny, but it's super comfortable even on long road trips. Headroom and visibility is great and I'm 6'1".
