Bench seat for a 32 Ford

[32highboy54]

Hi Guys Looking to put a bench seat in my 32 ford 3 window coupe. I know "wise guys " seat company sells them. But didnt know if that was my only opinion. Are there small cars in junk yards the would fit ?

There's also Glide

The third seat out of a MoPar van is often used on these small cars. Also, many upholsterers make up seats with a spring set, plywood and foam. Why a bench seat?

I do have a pair of surplus Glides that turned out to be too bulky for my '31 roadster that would fit nicely - but for sure I'm not "giving" them away but will sell within reason.

I have a Glide bench in my '32 3W, and I am very satisfied with it. It also allows for storage beneath the seat. It does not come with foam already installed so your upholsterer can give you the kind of comfort you desire in a seat. (They offer foam but don't buy it. It is best used for mock-up but not for the actual finished seat.)

One correction to Brother Dave's post on the Mopar seat, it's the middle seat that is made for two passengers rather than the third seat which is a 3 pass. unit. The first pic below is my '28 roadster (slightly narrower than the '32 coupe) with a '92 mopar minivan mid seat just dropped in with a couple small blocks under frame. This is the best pic I have available for now as I'm not where the car is. If you are patient and persistent you can find them for free, real cheap (as in $10), or at Pull Your Part type yards for $25-50 (hint: the ones from Town & Country vans can be had in a nice roll and pleat leather)

The next two pics are my late buddie's '32 roadster. He used the mid seat from a mid '90s Mazda MPV. The upholsterer had to tweak the foam and frame to get the exact final form, but as you can see from the unupholstered pic it could have been used unmodified as well.
