1935-36 seat
I have posted in the wanted section, but I want to cover all the bases as I am not having much luck. I need a 1935-36 Ford 5 Window Coupe seat, I really need just the metal pan, the sliders (risers) and enough wood to get a pattern from...do not want springs. However I would seriously consider any seat in any condition. I am in California, but will travel far to get it and will work vigorously to help get it shipped. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. Thank-you all who respond.......Matt in Alameda

Re: 1935-36 seat
Just for info there is a difference in the two seats. The 35 seat does not have the backrest that lifts up for access to the area under the package shelf. The 36 does have the lift up backrest.

Re: 1935-36 seat
Matt-
I am surprised you haven't come across a seat. Have you tried the HAMB board? Many guys building "streeters" dump the stock seat for modern bucket seats. I also agree, if you have a choice go with the '36 with the lift-up back cushion. I tried to make a lift-up seat out of a '35 seat and gave up. The two years have major dimensional differences. Good luck Tom |

One other thing I should have done, add about an 1"-1.5" to the height of the bottom board on the seat back for the seat cushion/spring to rest on, it higher on the '36. |

Re: 1935-36 seat
Dave D.....that is EXACTLY what I am going for...I am a cabinet maker and will build a cabinet for tools and parts right behind the seat Thank-you all who responded, EXCEPT for the scammer whose camera was malfunctioning and PayPal account was dormant and needed me to use a money gram service.. him I do not thank, he came from the HAMB site.
I found a seat pan, sliders, wood and fasteners for a '36 that I could afford, from a fellow Barner..... This forum is such a great place....Thank-you Shelly and thank-you Ryan.......Matt in Alameda |
