Jack Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 What is the thickness of your GMC seats, the bit with the springs in? The reason that I ask is because if I don't use some extra 'soft furnishings' then I can now see my headlamps, let alone anything else! :shock: I am 6' in height and I find it hard to believe how the men/boys of 60+ years ago would of been able to have good vision as they were a lot smaller than me! Cheers. Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I posted this on the CCKW site, but thought I ought to post here aswell. Jack, I think it depends on which GMC you are talking about. It seems to me that the closed cabs seats are quite a bit thicker and springier than the Open Cabs. For instance, I bounce around like anything in the Closed Cabs, and don't find it too bad in the open ones. I will ask Mick and Jem to check their seats as they are different. Not sure whether they are supposed to be, but the Closed Cab view/window seems smaller than the open cab one aswell. Cara x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I think you must have some thing wrong Jack, being 6ft you shouldn't have a problem. Cheers Degsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 I think you must have some thing wrong Jack, being 6ft you shouldn't have a problem. Cheers Degsy Looking through some books Degsy, I have noticed that must GMC's have two cushions per seat, have you seen that before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Thats what I do Jack, however in Normandy I was talking to a 91 year old American. he was tiny, less than 5FT in height but he had somehow got in to the Engineers and done 3 landings driving a 353 and had managed with the normal seats, how he did it defeats me.

Jack Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 so, where do I get one of these cushion thingys? Don't fancy driving around on soft furnishings for the summer :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoshi Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 You might try the canvas manufacturers! John and Mary Worthing or Allied Forces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
