15-CWT, 2K1, WIRE 5 Body Details

[David Dunlop]

Rich.

That'almost' looks like a Bantam Jeep seat, but not quite. Whatever it is, it is definitely not a seat for your 2K1, or very likely the HUW.

THe two seats in the 2K1 for the Wireless Operator and Cypher Clerk are standard Chev CMP seat assemblies identical to those in the cab. In earlier 15-cwt Wireless bodies the seat assemblies were bolted onto wooden spacers on the floor, but these proved to be very poor in durability. For the 2K1, a seat mount assembly was designed out of tubular steel in a roughly figure eight shape. It sits about 3 to 4 inches high with four feet on it that bolt into the hole patterns in the floor you will find in front of the wireless desk and off to the left, in front of the Cypher Clerk Desk. The complete Chev seat and rail assembly then bolts down on top of these mounts. The mounts are drilled to take the hardware in the same spots that mount these seats to the cab floor. Both seats face forward. The Cypher Clerk works side saddle.

If you can find one of these tubular seat mounts, any shop could knock off a bunch for you in pretty short order. They are pretty straight forward in design.

Cheers for now,

David
