I stumbled across this panel a few weeks ago and couldn't pass it up. The original buckets are there but the body is pretty rough. To think I searched high and low to find some panel seats a few years ago and this one was right under my nose. Pics attached if it did it right ........
I hate to be a downer but I don't think the panel has original stock seats. They look like newer seats. I bought a set of seats for my '48 panel some years ago and later found out the were for '53 to '59 panels. The older style, ,48-52, were more rounded in the cushions, the later style was more square. I later sold them when I bought my current '48 panel which had the correct stock seats.

Really? My other 56 panel has the same seats and they appear to be original??? I could be wrong.
The seats I had for the newer style truck had the same type of mounting system as the stock ones I have in my '48 panel and the '48-52 panels I've seen. The only real noticeable differences were as I mentioned, the newer seat were more square. It could be that both of your trucks had seats installed from a readily available newer truck. I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain those aren't the stock Ford seats.
