1954 Chevy Seat - Do they make new ones?

Does anyone know of a company that makes replacement 1954 Chevy seats? Mine came with an EL Camino front seat, which is not considered factory to some people...

Thanks

 

I haven't seen anything new out there, but the 55-57 bench seats look pretty good in there. I'm building a 53 right now and I am using an old buick sylark seat.

 

Which seat do you need, a folding bench or 4-door? I've got a spare 4-door if you need one.

 

I'm narrowing a 90 chevy truck folding bench, actually this weekend...

 

....and who cares about factory on THIS board..? my chevy's got a nova set in it.....i doubt it'll matter much to anyone but you,cuz if it does,they got problems..but if you dont like it,i cant think of anywhere the makes replacements..
creepy

 

Yeah, because '57 Chevy seats are freakin' everywhere, they're just givin' those away.

I've got an extra '53/'54 split bench here that I'd gladly swap for a 55-57 Chevy split seat. Nobody makes those either.

 

Clint, hit the Pomona swap. A bunch of the guys that have misc. Chev parts ****tered also have yards stashed away and can get you pretty much whatever you need. I used to go to a guy's yard that was also in Pomona and got my front bench from a 54 that was still on the flatbed (Mine had a Ford bench). I heard he died awhile back and his yard is gone, otherwise I would send you there.

Only **** purist restorers care about oringinal ****.

The El Camino seat is much better.

 

"Only **** purist restorers care about oringinal ****."

Thanks for your thoughtful insight and helpful suggestion. BTW, does "original ****" refer to aftermarket hod rod stuff made back in the 50's & 60's, too ???

Did a "**** purist restorer" step on your **** once ???

 

i want to do buckets in mine something pretty wide like a cutl*** or something. my only thought would be an old boneyard and start hunting

 

Check out Glide Engineering (www.glideeng.com) - Not sure if they make that exact bench, but I'm staring at the latest issue of Rod and Custom and there is a small writeup witha pic of a 49-53 Ford Coupe bench in skeletal form - they sell the foams too I think. Hell, worst case scenario, you could pop one of those in there if you didn't mind cross-contamination.

 

It's your ride,
I'm about 3-4 hours north of you there is a-- local / private- junkyard, u kind of have to know him before he shows you, he has a 53 cheiftain 4-door i been robbing parts and i think it still had seat. going next week will check if you like. I'll take a pic.

PM me if you do

Thanks,
