1940 ford seat

[flathead 53]

just bought a 40 coupe .any way to raise seat up some?

If it has the correct seat, it will raise as it moves forward. That's it. Anything more and you'll need to modify the tracks.

Cut a piece of wood 2"x1" the length of the tracks. You can made it 1" or any amount you want to raises it. Just use Long bolts to bolt it back down . Hope this helps.

thanks guys ,I will give it a try

First, figure out if the cushion is tired from age. I have found putting new padding in a seat cushion will raise me up quite a bit. Otherwise you will need to shim between the floor and the seat track.

If it is the standard coupe seat with the "flip up" backrest there are some adjustments that can be made with the brackets that bolt to the floor pan. Those brackets have different holes in them to move the seat forward or upward. If you have the 'split back' seat then you will need to go with shimming the tracks.
