Guys, I have to believe there was something that kept the seat cushion from moving around when installed.
Anyone know what? Photos?

Thanks men!

The cushion was held in place by two metal loops that hang down it the front.They just slide down behind the front of the seat riser and keep it from sliding ahead.The backrest had some pointed clips that mounted on the three vertical pieces of wood on the back of the cab.The seat spring was supposed to hook into them.But,I've never had a truck that actually used them.Just the friction of the backrest wedged between the horizontal cab brace and the seat cushion has always,and still works fine for me.

This helped a lot. Thank you.

The backrest has been no issue for me. The seat cushion is an obvious reproduction and is absent any type of "peg".
I will figure something out that will work in place of those missing pieces.
