Default 34 ford fordor

I am doing a 34 fordor steel and I was wondering what newer style seats are comfortable and fit well into space. I would like something plush...

Take a look at the bucker seats in an Isuzu . Remove the headrests(they look bad in an old car) and they should look and fit very well. Had a pair in my 37 tudor and they are very comfortable. The other seats that will work are the early VW.
If you want a bench seat take a look at the second and third seats in the mini vans like Aerostar, Windstar, Caravan, etc. The best thing to do is take and measure the existing seat and then go to Pick and Pull with the measurements. You can buy a nice seat for $50-60 and they usually have good upholstery.

Something plush,my 33 fordor has the original bench seat,and its more comfortable than my 06 fairlane,you can ride in the 33 all day and not get a sore anything.
It is a VERY comfortable seat.

Lawrie has it right. The original bench seats were plush with confort and good looks.

Yes the seats in my 2007 ford F150 are a pain the A$$ literally. Drove many miles in my Model A tudor with no butt or back pain

The Front Seat in my 33 was produced by " Wise Guys " I like it a lot, bottom tilts up for additional storage and the Back reclines as well
