My friend Terry had these seats for over 30 years. I've had my eye on these for the last fifteen years, and the opportunity to buy them finally came up. I believe they are out of a T-6 Texan. I've had one of these before, and I let it go back to the airplane guys. That's not happening this time. I see putting them into a chopped deuce Tudor in the future. We'll see!

Thanks! Just wish I had the car to put these in right away! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Non parachute pack seats so more likely than not either a training aircraft or something more rear-esh admin type. My guess would be Harvard/Texan? Doc.
Yes, Texan is correct. The nice part about getting them out of a Texan is that you get a matching pair! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Very cool seats, should look great in a car. I must say, my reading comprehension is somewhat lacking, you identified them as Texan seats in your first post........Duh! Doc.
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm positive you said those seats were included with the T Coupe body... really sure. Happy Holidays again. Dan & Lucy )
Thanks Dan & Lucy! I hope all is well with you two! Sorry, my memory must be failing me... Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I've got original yellow floatation seat back cushions from WWII with mounting hardware for those seats...I'll post some pics of them tomorrow when I get out to the shop...too cold tonight. edit*** They look like these that were in my coupe, but no writing on them...
Those are neat, Larry! Too bad we can't get this stuff at surplus pricing anymore! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
