The Ford Barn

I sold my ‘51 fordor a couple years ago, and I still have a ‘52 F-1. Without being able to measure them, I would guess that the fordor seat is wider. I had to lean over quite far to roll down the passenger window in the ‘51, and the pickup window seems a lot closer. Sorry I don’t have good dimensions. If somebody has the fordor width, I can furnish the F-1 dimension.

Thanks for the reply. I do have a lead to a frame with springs from a 52 F1 but I don't want to tear things apart right away if they are not the same as the 51 4dr. I have enough unfinished projects already! I will have to do the measuring and if they are not the same maybe just the springs will work out for repairing my seat.
