1940 Panel Delivery Seat Upholstery

[FireEngineMike]

I just acquired a second seat for my 1940 1-1/2 ton panel delivery (thank you "42panel") and am wondering if anyone has found a vendor with a pattern for the upholstery and can fabricate an upholstery kit that I could install. My search of the usual Ford parts suppliers came up empty as did my Google search. Also, does anyone know of a source for original or reproduction seat mounting hardware? I read the Feb 2014 thread started by "Harvest", but still need help. The panel delivery came with a drivers seat and the passenger seat was optional.
As always, thanks for any information from the very helpful barners.

I think I got the orig tracking for the panel truck seats if needed. I had a local upholstry guy do my seats to the orig skins that were taken off.

I'd appreciate it if you could dig out the tracks and at least post a couple of pictures. How did you mount your seats? Did you hang onto the old upholstery? Would also appreciate some pix of the finished seats to help whichever local shop I use. Thanks!

No problem, they turned out very well. Here is a shot of mine.
