Default AA seat options

would like to replace the seat in the AA truck as it is pretty tired. The seat is about 48" long, and about 17 to 18" wide front to back. This is a driver, not a restoration so pretty much anything goes within reason. I hear that some of the 2nd or 3rd seats from Dodge min-van work. any suggestions ?
Thank you

Nowhere near original, but I used Bestop Jeep seats in my huckster. Plain black but very comfortable.

I used a second row seat out of a 96 Plymouth mini van in a coupe I'm building and it fits in there like it belongs in there. I had to build a frame and bought some sliders for the bottom to adjust forward and back. If you do it right you can even retain the cupholder that slides underneath out of site!

For my 29 AA, I went to pull and save, took a bench sear from mid 80's f150, cut 18" out of center, lowered the height, it slides front to back, and the back folds over, cost $400. to recover. I like it.
carry on

For my '31, I used Smittybilt Jeep CJ5 seats. Available on Amazon with free shipping, both seats for under $300.
