Early CJ 5 Seats

Howdy from Holland MI...

Your '64 probably had seats with all the hardware as part of the seat - thats what came in my '64 CJ6. These were a coil-spung seat - I'm attaching some pics.

Somewhere between '64 and '66 they changed to seats where the seats had seat frames that were external to the seat. You can get a bit of a glimpse of the setup here - note that these are a foam-filled seat:

The advantage to the later model seats is that the passenger side folds and tumbles - the earlier version just pivoted forward but didn't get out of the way as much as the later ones.

That said - many guys have fabbed up their own seat mounts for the later style buckets out of 1" square tubing. I've had mine incorporated into the rollcage.

 

Forgot I had pics of the '64 seat undersides as well.
