NTX5467 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) "Split bench" as in for a two-door car? Where the seat back has two halves which fold forward to allow entry and exit of the rear seat passengers? That terminology was usually applied to middle-1960s (and later) cars with a 50-50 bench seat in a 4-dr car, where each half of the seat unit could move independently of each other. Enjoy!

60FlatTop Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Your car has a GM B-body. You might be able to find an Olds 88 seat frame to fit. Some of the A-body 1950's Pontiacs might be close fits with a little modification. What is your location. Shipping is going to be a concern.

That seat should interchange with 1955. I know they have one as I was there and saw it. I have one or two, but shipping would make it a non starter. I'm in MN. I also have the correct power seat frames. Reach out if interested. THANX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
