The Ford Barn

JSRTUDOR · 03-05-2022, 10:52 AM

Hi, I have a 1930 Town sedan and I need seats for it. Are the seats specific to the Town sedan or can I use a coupe seat for the front, or any other body style seats for front or rear? I would prefer correct seats, but I'll use any sytle original Model A seats just to have seats. Thanks!

The fordor seats should all be pretty close, try to find a '30 seat, but a'31 should fit fairly good also, your biggest problem is going to be matching (aligning) with the slider rails
I'm no expert, maybe others can chime in with better details

coupe seat is a bit smaller and not a good match up for a sedan.

I have one for sale in the swap section and am in NJ. I wouldnt recommend it.

A mini van seat would be a better temporary choice and inexpensive.

I have the front and rear seats from a 30 4 door town sedan with center arm rest and side arm rest. I'm in south jersey.

So you got the seats that JSRTUDOR offered?
Could you post a pic see we all could see?

Only put the rear seat in so far, and it’s only loosely sitting in place.

Hell, that looks good, old but very useable, much better then what I have right now...I'd run it.

If you need a wooden (thick) frame for the front, I made two when I duplicated mine (30 TS) from my original pieces. $25 where in NJ?. I came over to Bucks, Co. PA and now I'm a NJ refugee.
