Chris,


As Bob C has noted, your front seat cushion is a replacement as the original was in two sections, each with its own wood frame to which the springs are attached. Neither was hinged or otherwise attached to the tank but rather their opening in the center of their wood frames fit snugly over raised areas stamped into the top of the gas tank. All of the '32 commercial vehicle and big truck front seat bottoms share that characteristic with the exception panel deliveries.
