My '56 stock seat has a smooth head bolt through the pivot point with a cotter pin through the pivot bolt up under the seat. It would be easy to see if you remove the seat from the cab and turn the seat on it's back.
Thanks for the info, Pulled the pins & removed the back part of the seat. What a job to remove the hog rings from the seat. Got it apart & found the foam was toast really toast. After cleaning the mess I found the frame was bad too. The mounting bracket was broken at the weld. It had been repaired before, also the springs are broke at the ends. I can weld the bracket. The spring situation is what I worried about. What to Do ??

I replaced all the coil springs in my bench seat with flat springs from a 88 Caravan rear bench welded to F1 seat frame. After that it was high density 3-4 " foam.
I got my foam from Costco. They have a 3 inch memory foam mattres for a twin bed that will cover seat and back for $79 on sale (not sure if sale is still on). Advertised to stay cool while sleeping and it seems to work well so far. I don't have pics. This was a lot cheaper than any others I found
