P-15 Seats in a P-12 ?

[Skrambler]

Hi All,

I have a question that a buddy of mine wanted me to post since he is never on a computer.

Before he buys a front, and a rear seat assembly from a 1948 Plymouth 4 door sedan, and attempts to install these units in a 1941 Plymouth, 4 door sedan, he would like to know what challenges this may incure. Will these seats be an easy replacement? Or, will this be something that he should simply stay away from all together?

He will be able to pick-up the P-15 seats, locally to him, so shipping will not be involved, and the seats are not in too bad of shape. They do not have mice running out of them!

I appreciate any opinions.

Is his 41 missing the seats all together? I would think some simple measuring would tell you if the seats will fit. I would think they'd be pretty close.

Yes, nothing to compair with. I am guessing that the previous owner tossed them with intentions of adding a newer style.

Thanks for your reply though!

So measure the bolt holes on the p-15 bench,and the floor board holes on the car....simple.Do the same for the backseat measure the p-15 rear seat attachment points top and bottam, then on the car itself. If they are ballpark you should have something to start with.

As the 1942-48 Plymouth body was a reskinned 1940-41 Plymouth body, I do not believe there should be any serious trouble. The seat width should be okay, but there may be differences in mounting the seat to the floor.
