Technical Comprehensive 1932-1934 Ford seat guide

That's a great looking seat! Best of both worlds, comfortable and functional and vintage looking! Can't wait to get mine, thank you Metaltwister.

 

Hey Alan,
Little glitch with some of the shop equipment so it will ship tomorrow intead of today. I will shoot ya your tracking number in the A.M. Tomorrow.
Thanks

 

Great looking seat Metaltwister. Any more information such as does it tilt back and the bottom lift up? Thanks.

 

I dont want to hyjack this thread because its a pretty sweet one. But the quick answer is yes... the back flips forward and back to about 45 degree angle from the straight up position. The bottom on this one flips up for access under the seat but they dont have to have any adjustments at all if not wanted. This one gets seat sliders as well for the back and forward seat adjustment. I hope to have this one all finished up tonight, painted, and boxed for delivery AM tomorrow. I will shoot some pics when it's done and start another thread. I will post a forward link here for review when its done.
Thanks guys
M.T.

Are the front seat springs from a 30-31 Model A roadster and 32 roadster the same?

 

View attachment 2679180 View attachment 2679180 I have received several request for a 34 style seat with the side wings. After a little research I made this seat with the wings. It does the flip up as well as the adjustable back. I think a fixed back seat without the handle showing could look fairly close to original with the right upholstry on it.

 

Nice job guys, I just rebuilt my 32 window seat, and I need to make one complete for my 34 This gives me some good ideas
@383deuce have you seen this thread?

 

Yes I have talked to him on the HAMB about a 3 window seat. But I still want to make my own as it will be more like an original as yours is.
Thanks for thinking of me on it.

 

M.T.'s seats are a thing of beauty; the "wings" will really add to their factory look. Almost a shame to cover them up w/ upholstery!

 

Well thanks Robb... one the nicesest compliments we have ever received. But reality is it does get covered up and to be honest if the foam & upholstry is done correctly one wouldnt know if it was stock seat or not. For a more original feel and look I also build these in the fixed back style as well. (Non Adjustable Back)

 

Patiently waiting for my 34 coupe seat from Metaltwister (Bengels). Should be arriving soon. Is that it in the pic above? Thanks again, Jason

That would be it Jason... Like your new wings?

 

I've got a request...I'd like to see a Vicky rear seat if anyone's got an exploded example. Thanks in advance, JohnnyA

 

The seat looks amazing.. I was wondering with the recliner lever could you adapt an inside door handle from the 33-34 Ford. It would give a factory sorta look.

 

The stem coming off off the recliner is a splined shaft with a threaded hole in the center much like a window crank. I havent played around with the handles mainly do to s lack of time. A retro style handle of some kind might make it look much better? Or just make it fixed back and forget the handle all together?

 

heres a 3 window seat we built for a customers car and my wife upholstered it, i had an original 3 window seat pan and wish i would have taken pics of it, i have a couple 33/4 and 35/6 coupe seat pans at the moment and am trying to find pics of 32 3 window seat pan for reference

 

My 32 is gonna have bucket seats.............

 

for all it's worth, this is a '34 coupe seat.

It's gone if anyone's asking. I wish that I'd have kept it as I desperately need one for my 3-window !

 

Is a 32 3w seat pan the same as 33/34... and if not, how to identify one for 32 3w... Thanks

 

When I built my avatar roadster, I bought a Glide seat for it. It is still in the car 16 years later, with over 40k comfortable miles on it. It was at a bit pricey to start with, but has returned all those 40k miles VERY comfortably on these old bones. I highly recommend one if you are looking for a sturdy and comfortable seat!

 

32 truck seat is wider than the cars

 

Anybody want 32 Tudor sedan pics?
The driver side slides on two tracks with adjustment stops.
The passenger side folds down and flips forward toward the dash for access to the rear seat.
The rear seat is wood framed with springs.
The upper cushion fits into two slots in the rail below the rear window.
The lower cushion slides in and locates with two holes for the pins on the front fixed riser.

 

According to Snyder’s, the seat bottom springs for the ‘33/4 coupe seats are the same - both the 3 window & the 5 window. The backrest springs are different thickness, depending upon 3 window or 5 window. I’ve made a few seats ‘33/4 seats, based upon patterns from original seats. I’ll include a few photos of an original ‘34 3 window seat and a seat that I made.

 

Had a 31 coupe seat in my 32 5w. It looked and worked fine.
