PERFECT BENCH SEAT FOR T

Today at the Lone Star Round Up, I came across a Turtle deck Model T running a Dodge Caravan center bench seat. The owner was nice enough to share details when I told him I had a 26/27 model.





I cross referenced the info on the HAMB and found a post on that confirmed it. This is the ideal set-up. Low in profile, fold-down lever on the passenger side, and a perfect width.

In addition, I met an upholsterer, Stitch in Time, who works with Mercury Charlie and is interested in helping me create a seat similar but not the exact same as the bench in Mercury Charlie's original Tall T, now owned by John Tullis of Dripping Springs, TX.

A quick Google image search revealed the exact seat to be third-generation Dodge Caravan seat, available from 1996-2000.

I'm posting it here for my own reference and will be on the hunt for one. A good day of sleuthing was had by your truly.
