I'm a dummy. Now that the formalities are out of the way, I have a question.
How do I know if my '60 had a full bench seat or a 60/40 split bench seat?

Thanks!
So it went to a split front seat after 60? _________________ '73 Transporter - Driver

No.
In about Oct 60 it became a humpback seat.
You can tell if your bus took a humpback seat because there are three different "positions" it can be in. Also, the bottom of the seat, not the body, acts as the stop for the back of the seat.
Humpbacks ended in early 62. THEN they went to the 1/3, 2/3. _________________ The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance, but the illusion of knowledge

Interesting. So how would you redo a humpback bench seat? Would you have to add additional padding where the seam is? |
