1951 Bench Seat

I am looking to buy a complete stock bench seat for a '51 F-Series truck. Does anybody in the DFW / North Texas area have any trucks being being parted out or maybe have one collecting dust because they installed a newer model seat?

Thanks.
Kevin

I have a good set of springs in the frame in Kansas City. Needs sprayed down with phosphoric acid to kill the rust and extremely minor repair, but is otherwise complete and functional. Would be like $75 - $100 to ship on the bus...

Hey Kevin,
I have a complete seat from a 52 you can have here in Bryan. It's rusty but not shot. Let me know if you want it. You can have it for free but I welcome a trade if you have any parts I could use.

aren't the bench seats different widths between a 51 and a 52?

I suppose it's possible but I thought they didn't change between the two years. I looked in the body parts catalog and unless I'm reading it incorrectly it's the same for both years. Anyone know for sure?

I was wrong... knew i'd seen this somewhere but just found it in the FAQ section. Based on these numbers I was wrong as i thought the 52 was wider door to door. I should research before i speak.

Here are some measurements that you might want to consider when looking for a new seat.
· Inside cab width from door panel to door panel (where the seat bottom is the widest)
o 1948-1952 F-1 = 53.5 inches
o 1953-1956 F-100 = 58 inches
· Distance between the door handle tips
o 1949 F-1 = 51.5 inches
· Distance between the fat part of the door handles
o 1949 F-1 = 45-5/8 inches
· Distance across the cab at the rear door post
o 1949 F-1 = 57 inches
· Distance from door panel to door panel
