'59 Seat

I have a 59 with the gas tank still behind seat. What bucket/car front seats would fit in the cab and allow me to put speakers between them. Just checking out options for now, eventually want to move gas tank under bed (any info??). Thanks for your help.

You can adapt just about Any B.S. Bracket to your truck you want, it just takes a little ability, time & energy.
I'm not a Modder, so take this for what it's worth.
'Stang B.S.'s that I've seen don't look 1/2 bad in my P.o.V. & you can actually Mount Speakers to the Kick Panel over by the Fresh Aire Vent or Under the Dash Facing Down or Canted out @ a 45* angle in the Corner of the Dash.
You don't have to Cut into anything, if you can get your hands on the '70s Style Speaker Housing that Allowed you to screw them to where ever you wished will help in you endever.

As for your Petrol Tank, find a '57-'60 Panel Truck & re-move its frame mounted tank & mount it to yours. It's really the Simplist & best way to go.
Just be sure to take All the Mounting Hard Wear off the Panel Truck w/ you when you're finished removing the tank.
I intend to do this myself one day in the near future.

By-the-by, you also need to Cut-out around the area where the Fill Spout is on the Panel so that you can mount it to the side of the bed of your truck so you can actually fill the tank.
