Did the bench seat tear down today. Here's the bench. The light spot is not the flash, the canvas is actually worn down:
The back. In good shape, nothing broken or mangled. Just a little rusty because the canvas kept water against the metal:
The clips that hole the canvas to the frame is a bit different from modern clips. Here is a clip in place.
Here's a clip removed. They actually work very well. I had to dig out all of them.. none just poped out.
After the clips and canvas are off, here is the padding. No burlap, just some (I guess its cotton?) and jute looking stuff.
I *think* these are civy seats. Two things I noted were the rear passenger side. The corner is 'cut' in. I think this is to allow the civy fill tube to come out of the under seat tank to the side of the cab:
Also the seat bench and back seem to be hooked, the cover I took off had these cut outs, yet the new canvas I got from New Life did not have these cut outs for the backrest to connect to the bench:
The major work involves sand blasting the metal, painting with gloss black lacquer, and getting new padding.
