Ok I have put my new seat in and there is no way on gods green earth I could drive this. I am 6' and 170lbs and the wheel is close to my stomach. I have read else where the backrest goes behind bottom cushion and under wooden rail lip, I have read it does not...anyone know? These are correct new springs from Snyders.

Ya know, I know nothing about a rpu seat, but something tells me the lower cushion is over stuffed or just too tall. BTW, don't take this wrong, but it looks to me from the pictures, you need to adjust your clutch!You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!

Look at the drawing in the upper right corner at this link, it shows 13 1/4" between steering wheel and seat back.

Flip the cushion over with a piece of plywood under, cut to fit the top of the cushion, oversize . Rig up a way to squeze it evenly. Tie vertically and also tie horizontal so the vertical ties don't slide together. The horizontal ties go to the next spring nearby..Flip over the furnature in the house for an example.Last edited by Mark Jacobson; 08-02-2017, 03:26 PM.

Welcome to the 29 pickup club, yes they are very tight, i could never own one.. i think snyders sells custom springs for added room FWIW and it will still be tight. Mark gave you a great suggestion, so keep us posted on the outcome...
good luck on this one

I modified the seat so someone of normal size could actually fit in the cab. I cut a piece of plywood to replace the springs, applied 2 inches of foam, and then the seat cover. Plenty of room now.
By the way, this early 28 pickup is for sale.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

"FLIP OVER THE FURNITURE"???? Then people would think I'm REALLY KRAZY!!! Read of a Guy that suspended ALL his furniture to his ceiling, with HEAVY chains, NO LEGS on anything!!! Would be EASY to vacuum the rugs---LOL---The Dog: would LOVE the swingin' BED! (WHEE!)

In 2014 our Model A club had a demonstration put on by Elizabeth of Classtique Upholstery, showing how to reupholster a Tudor rear seat.
Elizabeth sure does nice work, and makes it look easy. Too bad I didn't have a video camera for this job. Notice the nice frame Elizabeth made to compress the seat springs while doing the upholstery work. The last picture shows the bead on the rear of the seat,...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

by cpf240While looking at my floor pan rust issues, I noticed some things about the seat base and riser that I'd like to ask about.
There are metal tabs on the inside front edge of the seat base, and what I'm calling clips on the front edge of the seat riser. I have not been able to find mention of these, nor a part number for the clips on the seat riser to help in determining their purpose....You do not have permission to view this gallery.

by mpsportsterI just got the above car and it has the rear cushion and back rest wood & springs, but only the front cushion. Can anyone help me with pictures or anything about how the front seat is supposed to be? It has the 4 stud adjustment slides.

by WaltIs there supposed to be any trim on the edge of the seat base frame? I recently bought a 30 coupe (my first A) that had the interior kit in boxes. I don't see anything for that edge of the seat base and there isn't any mention in the instructions for the Cartouche kit.

by Bikerider5830 Deluxe with trunk converted to rumble seat. Riders are few and far between, but I think the seat is cool to have.
Any suggestions on a locking arm or rail to keep back from falling forward?
After removing the seats for general use, I understand an area should be blocked off at the back. How much area?-

by mshmodelaAdvice on seat belts: Brands you like etc. Links on good methods of installation... I've put this off too long so looking for advice... My understanding is a lapbelt is about all that somewhat workable.

by greenhornetI have a lot of other issues to straighten out before I deal with the rumble seat floor on my recently acquired '31 roadster but wonder if I should bother at all.I don't think body has ever been removed from frame and floor is pretty solid under driver seat and even the floor where your feet go in rumble area. Someone replaced the rumble seat platform with a galvanized sheet metal piece that is really...

by Big guyActive fathers day for the 29 Tudor. Had a great time cruising with the grandkids and family. So I look yesterday and there is a tear in the passenger seat back edge that lines up perfectly with the parking brake!!! Damn it !!!!! I'm supposed to be the guardian of this beautifully restored piece of history and my first outing with family and its already less perfect then when I bought it! I'm guessing...
