I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP FOR A OFF FRAME RESTORE. ANY ONE GOT A IDEA FOR A BENCHSEAT TO GO IN IT. WHAT WILL FIT ? I HAVE A 2003 WITH THE FOLDDOWN CENTER. SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD BE NICE.ALL YOU OLD GOATS OUT THERE LET ME KNOW. IT WILL GET TILT WHEEL/IFS/AOD WITH A 289/ FRONT DISK REAR DRUM. BRIGHT YELLOW WITH WOOD BED AND WOOD DOOR PANELS AND KICK BOARDS. SMOOTY RUNNING BOARD WITH WOOD STRIPING LIKE THE BED. WHAT U ALL THINK ? WOOHOOOOOO IT WILL BE SWEET.GOING TO SINK 27K IN IT CAUSE I CAN !!!!!!!!

There has been lots of dicussions on different seats for the 1948-52 F-1. I found this link using the search feature. You may find more links that can help...

Since money is no object, lol, instead of trying to make something work, how about a correctly engineered custom seat, ready to go.

SO i fixed my 67 fastback and now working on the 51. My cuz owns the shop. Plus my old truck is solid. replacing the bed is all i have to do to the body.Soda blaster will fix the rest.ALL ready got the 289 and rearend.I might not can spell that good but i can add. I can weld any thing from a broken heart to the crack of dawn [ too boot ] lol I DON'T WANT ANYONE OUT THERE WALKING AROUND ON TWO LEGS TO FEEL SORRY FOR MY RICH ***. PEOPLE THAT SAY CAN'T NEVER GET ANYTHING DONE.
