Question about model A seat
I am about to either mock up a seat or install a seat in the roadster pickup. I have 2 nice bucket seats with low backs and track mechanisms , however the roadster pickup is a bit short on cab length for legroom. I am thinking that rather than build a plywood and foam bench seat, I might try something a bit different. I may remove the backs from the bucket seats and install just the bases, which have good springs and padding. I would then build a seat back right into the rear upholstry panel, similar to what is done on a lot of T-buckets. This would give me an extra 2 or 3" of leg room, over what using the entire bucket seat would give, enough to dramatically increase the "comfort" level when driving. It would give me factory style seating under my butt, and the seat back would be about 2 1/2" of medium density foam between my back and the back of the cab. Any comments on this?Old guy hot rodder
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
