A Body Bench Seat Questions

A Body Bench Seat Questions - 05/09/17 07:39 AM

Haven't been on here in a while. I put the '66 Satellite project on hold and have been working on another non-mopar full custom truck project. (Well, I bought it as a driver and it has spent more time apart than driving!)

I think the truck has an A body split bench seat. The seat adjuster knob is missing. Are bench seat and bucket seat adjuster knobs the same? I'm not concerned with originality, just looking for a (cheap) knob that will fit.

The seat was re-upholstered prior to me getting it so it is hard to tell what was there originally. Do stock bench seats have any type of seat back adjuster? It leans back a little too much - especially in the center.

Thanks for the assistance.

Yeah... work, house. Plus the Satellite was a fight every step of the way. Countless hours and dollars spent. Coupled with getting ripped off by a former member on here - thereby losing my instrument cluster, glovebox door, armrests, and trim. Kinda sucked the fun out of it! Still don't have replacements and it's been years since I've heard from the guy.

I thought I'd buy a driver to enjoy for the time being.

Understood brother. I had a guy stiff me on a $10 bet and a guy sold me a manifold that will need the bolt holes reworked to be usefull (doable), I should known the $50 pricetag was a tipoff! & a dealer in Indianapolis sold me a set of EQ chinese knockoffs that were supposed to be the real deal but other than those, all my dealings have been stellar/trouble free. Other than the head(s) deal I've had way more problems with stuff being damaged by shippers & I thought it was just Mr Murphy till I saw the thread regarding damaged goods & it sounds epidemic. I still ain't figured out how they managed to get the arm of a fuel pump poking out thru the side of the box, I dont think I could duplicate that if I tossed it against a brick wall!

I'm used to shipping issues and the such. (Just had a quart of paint delivered that looked like UPS ran over it first!)

In this case had a perfect 956 radiator (hemi/ 6 pack) that I was supposed to trade for a bunch of parts and plastic chrome restoration. I thought this individual was reputable since he owned a Mopar restoration shop. A decade later not only am I out the radiator (which I turned down nice cash offers for), but out all the parts off my car that were never returned.

Hope to get back to the Satellite. I just needed some time yelling at another project!

I'm a little surprised that no one knows what seat adjuster knob came on the bench seat. I don't have anything to try, else I wouldn't be asking.
