That list is **** hot! It's arrived one week after I bought an original for my 35 Pickup for big bucks.

 

I have one to add, but i don't know the measurements. I used an old school bus seat (the one for the kids, not the driver) in my 26 t coupe. It fit in just perfect, and is quite comfortable, if you like green, the upolstery is a plus becuase it is very thick and waterproof.

 

Thanks 40! You could not have put this up at a better time. I just started the hunt for a seat! Thanks for saving me a bunch of time.
