rear seat

Post by 12B »

Can any one direct me to a good photo or diagram of all the pieces and parts I need to add/assemble a rear seat for my M38? I have what I would guess is the rear seat support (Large square U shape) and the rear pivot bracket (round u shape) already attached to the sides of my bed. What else do I need and how does it go together?

You should go take a look at the photo gallery page, you're sure to find some pictures of it there.

There's a couple of decent photos of the rear seat here:

Check out the message boards on the "G" ( http://www.g503.com ). Apart from being a bit narrower, the WW2 jeep rear seats were pretty much identical. You should also do a google image search for "M38 rear seat". Surprising what comes up. And if you're looking to buy, the M38A1 seat is the same as the M38. :wink:
