Rear seats in a 57 Chev delievery

Was looking at a 57 Chev delivery today and it had a rear bench seat. Would that be a standard thing??? The view wouldnt be too good

 

If thats the red RHD one from VIC with the full Bel Air trim on the side it is has been made from a four door wagon. Good job but not the real thing.

If its the real thing it will have a D(6 cyl) or VD(8cyl) in front of the VIN numbers in the left hand door jamb. And on the cowl tag it will have 1271 as body style.

I also had a look at a 57 Sedan Delivery in QLD that was on a sedan floor pan and the guy reckon`s they came like this(****). This car could have a rear seat out of a sedan fitted.

All Sedan Deliveries had wagon floor pans and can be fitted with a wagon seat I know cause I did it this week. Mine was a bit harder as it has been mini tubbed and I had to shorten the seat to fit it.

Thanks Chris, great info. Car is in the US.

 

Rear seats were not an option in the sedan deliveries;in fact a lot of them came through with just a single bucket seat for the driver.Normally there is a plywood platform behind the driver.You can remove it and the sheet metal bracketing and install a seat from a 2 door station wagon(which was probably the case here).I did my 60 Chevy sedan delivery like that and it bolted right in.Hardest part was finding the seat as there weren't many 2 door wagons made either.And the body code should be 1271 as stated.
