Front seat question

I have a 48 Plymouth special deluxe club coupe with the split back front seat. The ones that fold forward to let in the rear passengers. Does anyone know if the bottom section that you sit on, is the same as a solid back front seat from a four door sedan.

 

Thanks,

Bill

   My guess, and that’s all it is, is that the frame for the seat bottom from a 4-door sedan , while probably having similar dimensions, may not have the provisions for the pivoting of the split-back of the club coupe’s seat. If you could get a club-coupe seat-bottom frame to use as a sample, you could probably alter the sedan seat-bottom to accommodate the coupe seat-backs. Just a tho’t . . . .

Are you asking about the padded seat or the frame below the padded seat?

I tried looking this up in my parts books. It shows them with upholstery which made it much harder to follow. From what I could tell though none of the body styles interchanged which also doesn't seem right.

Thanks for the replies guys, I have the whole front seat, frame and all, just missing the padded part you set on. A local scrap yard has one from a four door sedan. Just hoping someone knew before I spend the day driving. 

Thanks again!
