I am working [perpetually] on this '52 truck of mine and am headed to the interior. The seat 'frames' are original with the springs etc but they are not mounted to anything and there is not a stitch of cover on them. The seat is a bench with no split, and the back is continuous as well. It looks as if there is a hinge where the bottom cushion would fold up to access the two storage compartments below the seat.
My question is, were these bench seats designed to pivot from the back and fold up against the cushion? Also, the seat back cushion...was that designed to pivot as well, or does it just attach the the cab frame solid? Before the springs head to the upholstery shop, I am needing to make sure that the mounting attachments are in place. Thanks very much.
