47-55.1 '63 bench seat in a '53

[popstand]

So I’ve decided to put a ’63 bench seat in my ’53. Anyone done that? I just want a nice basic bench seat - no buckets, no power lumbar stuff. I’ll have it rebuilt and recovered.

I have two original ’53 seats, but don’t like the look of the pipe around the seat. And a ’63 tilts forward for access to behind the seat. My gas tank is under the bed, so that would be good.

Can anyone give me the width of a ’63 seat please? Or the width of the cab inside between doors.
