Morris Minor Owners Club

I've now decided to put Horrace all back to original so need some seats. For a pick up are they same as a van or saloon or neither please?

I think they are different, something to do with the floor pan shape, plus the passenger seat in the lcv folds down.

So even in the pick up the seat folds forward?

Yes, pickup and van,

I think you will find that the rear legs are shorter for the LCVs.
This is my understanding: The saloons have a floor that dips to the rear seat footwell. The LCVs have flat foors, so their rear legs need to be shorter or the seats would be too erect.
Here in Oz, all LCVs were fitted with bench seats, so we never had the LCV individual seats.

Thought bench seats were only on CKD pickup's?

Oh no ! Not another line of investigation for the long awaited book !

That could be right, Chris. I am open to being corrected.

I can't remember seeing a definitive statement of whether all Oz LCVs had bench seats, but that is my impression. Of course so many have had their seats changed over the years it is difficult to say--the bench seats are now pretty rare. Further, I have never seen any reference to individual van seats being available on the Australian used market; if I had I would have pounced on a pair for my 68 Austin Minor. I have been intending to use modified saloon seats.
