I wanted them to be adjustable so that made for some extra work but I'm happy with the way they turned out. They are a tight fit, just touching in the middle with about 1/4" clearance on the door sides. They will probably just touch the doors when the door panels are on. Here are a couple of pics.

My only concern is they wont recline enough to be in a comfortable position without the seat being too close to the steering wheel. 5366689-206_0659(Large).JPG (82 downloads) 69.5 A12 Bee, first purchased in 1976, car 169 on registry 69 Coronet R/T 440/4 spd 69 Coronet 500 Conv H code 383 4bbl/auto 37 Plymouth PU Find your spot on earth and ride it.

Good luck! Arno

It was nearly straight up at 90 degrees, and the 54 cab is a lot longer then your 37. Don't think it will work. Truck cabs are just not long enough to put in seats that are not almost upright unless your real short. Gene

They don't have much padding so they are thin and narrow. Most have an adjustable back rest position, but expect to have it nearly straight up. In my 50, I have a set of low back ford buckets that the top of the seat fits under the rear window ledge. That let me back up the seat about 4" or 5" giving a much better angle. The bad thing is it puts your head almost against the window, if I ever get rear ended, my head will take out the window. I have also heard the mini van rear bench seats work well. Gene
