Opinion wanted on swivel seats for 60

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

The cushions would have to be from a 60 to be correct, probably a difficult find. While the frames are all the same, there was a change during the 60 model year that did away with the release feature when the door is opened.

Swivel seats are definitely worth it.  Folks love to see them at shows.  Most think they're a good idea.  Great talking point to draw folks away from those blankety blank tiresome 57 Chevys.  The frame is worth $$.  I just sold a pwer seat with the swivel seats on the frame for $400

BTW, all, and I mean all, swivels seat frames are the same for 59,60 and 61 for Plymouth, Dodge DeSoto Chrysler and Imperial.  The upholstery is different, yes.  Even if its a 4 door with a fixed back, there is a piece of metal you take out and the seats go front and back for your two door.

 

If you don't want the frame, I sure do.

I have the complete frame for the swivel front seats for a 60.  Any opinions on whether I should hold on to it and eventually put it in instead of the bench seats that are in there now? 

 

I am replacing my old deck lid (dusk mauve) with a flight sweep.  If anyone needs a replacement deck lid they are more than welcome to have my old one.  It is in excellent shape with no rust since it originally came from New Mexico.

 

On another topic how much play should there be in the steering?  Is there any adjustment to make it a bit tighter.  also since there has been quite a bit of talk about it, how do you know if you need new motor mounts and how much of a difference would this make in the ride if they are old?

 

Thanks,

 

David
