Bench seat wanted for Ford pickup

[rem]

Looking for a bech seat for a '55 F100, although any truck-type bench seat up to about 55" wide could work.

Would also be interested in door cards and other interior trim.

Cheers, Andy

PM me (yes, it really works now!) or phone 07986 361341 or 07920 584324

give Ross Morrison a shout he`s rebuilding a 40 coupe for a customer thats replacing the bench, it`s nice n tight and well upholstered, i was going to have it for my A but it`s a bit too wide,
Russ :cool:

Andy a Mk2 consul zephyr zodiac will fit fine .. I had one temporarily fitted in the F1 width wise its fine, but the lower squab is deeper than the stock F1. This would be fine if unlike me your not 11 feet 6 inches tall.. Im no longer using the Zodiac seat but it is now void of all upholstery.. If your strugling this one would break down into two halves ( they have a natural separation between the back and the bottom frame ) and could send it but I suspect you can get one down your way easier.. ?

Thanks Russ and Ian. I have contacted Ross and he has given me some details, although one problem would be the logistics of getting a seat down here to Oxford - same for yours Ian.

I'll keep my options open for a little while and see if anything else comes along.

Morecubes has a full electric leather bench seat from a 'Chevelle' (I Think) Been narrowed to suit a Consul Capri.

Andy, sent you pics to that e-mail addy and they bounced back! Mail me direct off here and I'll try again.

OK, no luck so far - the '40 Ford one from Ross was too deep - I need a more upright one like the ones in the photos, really.

Klunk, that one is a bit fancy too. One out of a C***y truck might work!

And I wouldn't mind a steering wheel like that as well.

[ross@rmrrestorations]

Andy, I have a couple of series 1 Chevy wheels. Pretty basic and boring looking though.

Thanks Ross, the one in my truck is Ford, just that it looks more early '60s three-spoke (a bit Cortina-ish). At risk of sounding like a r*storer, I wouldn't mind an original '55 F100 one.

[ross@rmrrestorations]

Ask Holmsey then, he may still have his.

Andy, I have a bench here from the rear of a windstar. The back folds down flat like a table. It's in good condition. I'd like £30 for it.
Mart.
PS Just put a tape measure across it and it's 46" wide.

Thanks Mark (and Mart), I think I have found a suitable bench that appears to be very close to the original style, and have committed to having it. I would still be interested in an original early F100 seat, though. Also Mark, I think I spoke before about if you had a spare Pilot torque tube and drive shaft? Only problem with passing by at that time is I might be shivering up in Norfolk then!

Cheers, Andy
