    Anyone know if these are early Ford seats? If not, does anyone know what they would be out of?

    Tim would know better but there was a short run (one year) that had the folding or split seat like pictured. 1962?

    The van is a 61 model year but as we all know that may not make a difference as guys swap parts all the time.

    Exactly like my 61 seats.  Those are original.

    Do you happen to have a picture of your brackets that are used to mount them? Previous owner on mine made some of his own which don't work so well. You can see in the pictures he used stainless bolts and custom brackets. I think they got too much heat when welding because the nuts barely turn if at all so I hope I can find a set of original.

    Thank you! That helps a lot. I have a few old brackets which now I realize are also not original. Talking to Tim at EconoUSA to come up with an original set.
