Yeah, we already tried the pullmans in the truck. We had to
raise them an additional two inches to clear the gas tank,
and they kept jamming under the rear window.
The type B seat is the bench, with split back, and the
mounting brackets are "L" shaped rather than inverted "T"
shape, like the older model (like my Hawk)
Also need a driver's front fender for a 58 Hawk, in good
condition. Anything like that kicking around?
