1939 vs 1941 front bench
 

Can anyone tell me the difference in size for a 1939 vs a 1941 Ford split bench seat? And if anyone knows - if a 39 bench is fit in a 41 - is it too small in side to side width?

If I use the 39 bench - it will be upholstered with custom high grade vinyl - so no worries about original spec, though I do want it to look like it fits the cars interior ( and not look too small )

Thanks,
John

I would say a 41 is slightly wider than a 39 seat as the bodys kept getting wider through the yrs.How much i dont know.Doughtful if the mount holes would line up from one to the the other!! ken ct.

John, If it would help, I'm in Belleville,MI. just down the road. I have a 40 bench in my car that you could take measurements off of. Or if you needed me to measure it at a certain spot I would. I believe these are the same size as 39.

I believe 39 and 40 would be the same dimensions.The 39 should fit no problem in a 41,as Ken says holes may need redrilling due to not lining up.

The 41 seat is wider than the 39. The backrest cushions also have a different configuration. The 41 seat is the same as the 46-48 seat. They should be fairly easy to find.
