Any leads? Seats again
 
2 Attachment(s)
So I have been getting all seats necessary to finish interior.

I have a front bench and two rear benches.

One of the rears is more “square” than the other. Not same.

Anyone have a lead or frame lead for the rounded rear seat?

Can that 3rd row be made to look like 2nd? It’s a Chevy seat, had arms, etc, same brackets, just not same shape

Your rear seat is from a 73-77(?) Blazer.

I actually cut the handle off of a HF dolly/hand truck. It had the same curvature and transplanted them to the metal seat frame. My '72 foam and seat covers fit perfectly.

Interesting….I am going to have a shop do all the interior…does the frame need to be modified?

Yes, I cut the corners off the upper seat frame square corners and welded in the former curved handles of my hand truck. A little rattle can paint and it looked factory.

I guess you could then weld the square corners on to the cart so you would have a complete cart again.

That’s the most genius thing I’ve seen.

What did you end up doing?

I was doing some cleaning up around the old homestead and found I have the top bar from a 67-72 front seat. It would be good to convert your seat to the correct style.
It's free for the ride if you're interested.

Still trying to find a seat…
