do the '39 & '40 1/2 tons share the same seat bottom or back...my question pertains to the frames, not the upholstery fabric...

epi

My info. says the seat changes were a better padding and a more druable covering.Mentions no changes in the size etc.

chevgene,

thanks for the info...we need a seat for our '40...we've found a set from a '39, but are hesitant to have it shipped cross-country unless we are sure it'll fit...

Chevrolet, To be safe I would have the seller give you the description and demensions of the seat that he has.Often they have a seat from a different year and don't even know it.The shipping will be rather expensive on a seat.

Do you have a Panel, Canopy, Suburban, Double unit (Pickup, Flatbed) or flat face cowl with special body? Only the Panel & Canopy have same bucket seats.
If you have a double unit and want access behind seat, Rear VW rabbit seats fit nicely and most can be folded.

lou,

we've a kc 1/2ton pickup...

the vw seats could work as an interim, but we're looking to put it back correct to original...

I suspect the seat in there now is from a later pickup...the seat's too large front to rear, but the width's okay, as is the seat back...

I believe the seat frame are probably a little different as the cab on the 40 was made slightly larger than the 39 as closer resembles the cab from 41-6. I have original seats in all 3 of my '40's. (I am even considering parting one truck out but have yet to decide). If you would like me to take measurements let me know. Brian

brian,

thanks, that'd be great...maybe some pics?..
