How can I tell what year my passenger seat bottom is for? I don't have a seat back, just the bottom but it came with my swivel bus so it isn't original to the bus. I just can't tell what year it is. I may need better pics, sorry.

All passenger side walk through seat bases are the same as far as I know.

'66s are angled in the front where they "roll" up the fenderwell. Thus the side panel height from pedestal mat to the seating surface shortens by 2 inches on the fenderwell (shorter springs, less trampoline fun, etc.).

Can anyone post up clear pictures of the bent tube underneath frame, possibly with dimensions/specs or direct me where to find them for late split passenger walk through seat frame? I need one for my project and may have to fab up a suitable replacement.

Talk about an ideal subject for someone to market as a repo item, the passenger walk through seat frame, given the cost of rusty examples.

Novice question please bare with me;)

First time reupholstering 66 walkthru front seats. I have a few questions about my frames before I send them off to powder coat.

1st question: drivers seat bottom left front of picture. Is the slant normal? The front corner spring is compressed and tied down. Second picture shows this.

Second question:
Drivers side seat back, is the very top back rod on frame suppose to slant downward to the left. I think it's is from pictures I was searching in the gallery but want to confirm.

Seat bottom should not be compressed on one side, and the rod along the top back should not be sloped either. The rod is an easy fix. The seat bottom--maybe--depending on the reason why it was tied down in the first place.

I redid my 67 w/t seats earlier this year and that rod was very straight and parallel to the front bar. When covered, it forms an even line with with front of the seat, tho its a bit lower. I think what you're seeing in that repro seat ad is just an angle, as it looks straight to me in another of the pics.

X2 on the bottom springs being even height across the back. Yours was tied down heavily for some reason.

Can anyone tell me when the passenger seat backs with the hooks, had open backs? Meaning no material covering the rear side of it.
