Hi all,

I'd like to find some proper old leather lorry seats, like those below.

These two were on ebay but didnt sell. I spoke to the seller yesterday about going down to Essex tomorrow for them, and said I'd ring this evening to confirm his address etc. I rang, only to find he'd $%"$@*# sold them to someone else today Evil or Very Mad

So, I'm on the look-out for some more, one would do, but a pair would be better.

thanks, R

The trouble is Rick all the old lorries I drove when they weren't that old if you see what I mean did not have leather seats - the cheapest leathercloth sufficed for the hired man behind the wheel.
The majority as I recall had only one seat as well - I reckon your Dodge is going to be De Luxe version!!

These came out of a 40s Austin lorry (maybe a K2), so anything along these lines would do the job just perfick. Otherwise I'll just have to find something more-or-less suitable for the timebeing Confused

Those seats look very similar to A7 ones - a possible substitute with a bit of modification? Confused

Rick, if you want anything on Ebay you have to put a bid on it. I thought you would have known that. Shocked
