    The truck is a 50's Studebaker but it's dimensions are very similar to an AD. The seat is a back seat from a BMW sedan. The metal side panels are just 18g cold roll that are spot welded to the tubular seat frame. Very supportive and comfortable seat that I think looks nice also.

    That Studebaker "Have Buck teef" Nice part about using the rear seat is the leather is probably un-worn!

    Damon,
    Yes it did have a center belt but it was left out. It negates use of the fold down rest.

    Yes, it does... If I go that route, mine wouldn't be used anymore than my current (2002) Silverado. I would just like to have the option of hauling a third person (safely) in the Sinclair project truck. Thanks for the info!

    Do we know what series (3, 5 or 7) that seat came from? It looks pretty nice.

    Seats from a PT Cruiser work, also.

    This truck was at the show today. The owner wanted a console, and the PT Cruiser seats worked well.
