Hi
I have a 49 chevy pickup and three kids not goats
lovely children really. I'm looking for a bench seat that will fit well, I could modify it to make it tilt forward if need be.Oh,i have a lovely wife too! Does anyone out there know what works. Hoping to have Kristkustoms make it look pretty

Seeing your fabrication skills, I would imagine you could build the seat frame yourself, hinging forward as you would like it to. Make the seating areas flat, and I could add the foam and carve it the pretty much any shape you want. Speaking from experiece, sometimes it is alot easier to just build a seat exactly how you want it, than try to modify an existing seat.

ok thats sounds good to me,i know so little about interior stuff maybe you could give me some pointers to start me off. don't want to make an uncomforatable seat.
thanks

I would make a drawing with all the appropriate measurements from your truck:
1. original seat height, width, depth.
2. floor mount configuration.
Then hit the local junkyards/pick-a-parts/etc.
I'd look at Mid-size SUVs, Voyager/Caravans for a start. Don't forget the rear and middle seats! The newer these things are the better chance you'll get leather TOO!
Best of luck!
