    Hi All,
    Does anyone have any pictures of the original bench seats from an old Falcon Van? Just curious what they look like. If I have to have some fabricated I want them to look close to the originals. Thanks again. Matt

    P.S. Rebuilt the carburetor, installed it, and with a little tweaking the old 170 fired right up. Hasn't ran since 97. Can't wait to rip around town in this thing.

    Thanks for the pics. Looks identical to mine. These will be good references for the reupholster. Again, thanks

    If it hasn't run in 15 years i'd suggest dropping the fuel tank and cleaning it out.just my 2 cents..

    They also made a split bench seat where a third of it folded down to make it easier to get in the back.

    Only the front bench seat had a seperate armrest that attached to it or the floor depending on what year it was. There were 2 different styles. One attached to the floor and the seat and one to the seat only. I dont have any of either Bill.

    Note the position of the legs,they are different offsets from the end. This is an early seat and wont line up with the floor brackets in later trucks. I believe this is a 61,62 only seat but not positive.

    I found a split seat in a late 1961 Falcon. But you never know what could have been changed out in 50 years.
