dear Larry,
I think I can help you. I sold my two extra sets of
1959 Plymouth swivels in the last year. From my experience, the
Plymouth and Dodge bucket seats (in 1959, at least) were made the
same. The seat backs will tip forward. For the four-door cars, the
factory slipped thick chunks of metal into each hinge mechanism to
block to folding action. This metal chunk comes out easily when
you remove the pivot screws on the seat. The trickiest part is trying to
loosen those chromed screws without messing them up!
I too wanted power tracks and swivels in my project car.
I pulled a power benchseat track out of a '59 Windsor and the
factory swivels bolted right up to them.
I would be interested to know who wants to sell you these
seats, where he is, where you are, and how much he wants.
...asking a lot from you, arent I?

Subject: [FWDLK] swivel seat
questions
Hello,
I am considering buying a swivel seat for my 60 Desoto
Adventurer 2dr. I have found one that is most of the way across the country
from me, so I can't look at it before I buy it. I have never personally saw
one of these seats but I like the way they look in the pictures and think it
would be a cool option to add to my Desoto. Now here is the questions. The
seat I am considering buying is from a 60 Desoto but is from a 4 dr. The guy
that has it says the passenger seat will fold forward but that the driver one
won't. He says it should be an easy fix because it is probably just froze up.
Is this right? Did the swivel seats in a 4dr really fold forward? Are the
swivel seats in a 4dr really the same as a 2 dr? Also I was really looking for
a power operated swivel but this one is not. My seat now is a power bench and
the seller claims I can take all the power track mechanisms and switch them
over. He claims to have done this on his own car. Will this work? If any one
on the list has any experience with these seats please let me know. I would
hate to spend all the money he wants for the seat and all that it would cost
to ship it just to find out it will not work. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
