How do you remove the rear seat and back cushion on a 1947 Chevy Fleetmaster 2 door?

 

I have no exact experience with a 47 but generally, across years, the back seat bottom cushion is held in place at the back by slipping under the back cushion and at the front by two spring attachments. Slip you fingers under the bottom frame of the bottom cushion with one hand on each end of the cushion, about a foot in from the end. Yank up with both hands at the same time. The spring points will release (more accurately the frame will flex and slide around the fixed points on the floor). Then pull the cushion forward to release the back and remove it from the car. The back cushion is held by two points on the bottom. Sometimes a tab through a slot (straighten the tab, pull the cushion frame free of the tab) or a bolt through the floor serving the same purpose, remove the bolts. The top of the back cushion is held by hooking over "J" type brackets on the front of the package shelf. Grab the bottom of the seat back, once the bottom points have been freed, then lift up on the whole seat back to clear the J brackets. The video link below is a newer Chevy but the principle is the same. Fast forward to the 4:30 mark to get to the meat of the process.
