Sad question inbound, but.......

[UK Jack]

What is the thickness of your GMC seats, the bit with the springs in?

The reason that I ask is because if I don't use some extra 'soft furnishings' then I cannot see my headlamps, let alone anything else! I am 6' in height and I find it hard to believe how the men/boys of 60+ years ago would of been able to have good vision as they were a lot smaller than me!

Cheers.

I am curious too. my seats i assume are old french made seats that fit nice but the bottoms have plywood instead of springs...were springs the only thing used in seats on all cckws? if so, I would like to repace with them..how?

Hi Jack. My seats are new from Beechwood, and are plywood based. Not sure what the packing is, foam I expect, but they are about 4 -- 4.1/2 inches thick.... total.

It gives a good position without any additional packing.

Try one of mine for size when we meet.

Jack,

I think it depends on which GMC you are talking about.

It seems to me that the closed cabs seats are quite a bit thicker and springier than the Open Cabs. For instance, I bounce around like anything in the Closed Cabs, and don't find it too bad in the open ones.

I will ask Mick and Jem to check their seats as they are different. Not sure whether they are supposed to be, but the Closed Cab view/window seems smaller than the open cab one aswell.

Cheers Cara.

It is a strange but my instincts are telliing me that these seats aren't GMC as the driving position is all wrong.

Cheers.

Jack.

Colin, we have met yet this year so I am still looking for the answers on this one.

I don't want to go to the Gathering of Eagles next week looking a complete prat with me cab full up with soft furnishings

When I look through books I see that you can see must open cabs with the cusions sitting a lot higher than the door..........

Your help is needed to stop my looking like a prat next week ( no comments )

Cheers

Jack.
