60/40 Jeep seats

Hi Group
Does anyone know the model and year
models that the 60/40 seats came
standerd from the plant.

 

The entire CJ-and CJ-6 run AFAIK. I expect you could get them in the CJ-7 and maybe CJ-8 too.

But they were never standard. A single bucket seat was standard. The split bench or a passenger-side bucket were optional.

 

i have a '60 with the 60 / 40 seat in it. it has cool pink & white stripes on the upholstery, what's left of it.

48 2WD truck had them

 

I had a '78 CJ7 with the split bench.

 

The seats from a Surrey would fit in a '60 CJ, I'd think.

 

Were the split benches called 60/40 or 3/2? I am just now comming up to speed on some of the specifics of early CJs. I have a split bench that looks like almost 2 butts could sit drivers side (it would be cozy), and a single over the tool box.:?

 

Wow, i am old and tired. Gee Mr. Obvious, i never made the connection! Thanks, makes sense now. ( Gives Sparky a bow)....

 

Well, maybe not. Are the frames integral to the seats? If they are, then they will not fit.

 

Hi Tim
These pictures are what I am calling
60/40 jeep seats

 

Yes, that's right. The split bench seat. The narrow, single drivers seat was standard. You could add an optional narrow passenger's seat, or substitute the optional wide driver's seat with the narrow passenger's seat.

Later Jeeps had the driver's bucket standard, with an optional passenger bucket. In that era, if you chose the split 60-40 bench, the driver's bucket came out and you got a flat driver's and passenger's seat. Very much like what you have, except the frames could be separated from the seats.

The bench seat was available in the late era too, but it got fancier upholstery with an embossed panel. Earlier seats were all plain, smooth vinyl, as seen above.

The Surrey question was in reference to the pink-and-white striped fabric.

 

Technically these are termed as either 1/3 or 2/3 type seats.
These seats were considered as optional stock.

DJ-3A, CJ-5, CJ-6, CJ-5A, CJ-6A,
Alll vintages from 1955 through 1971 perhaps later.
Never available for the spartan model CJ-3B's.
The DJ seats are specific to DJ's.
CJ-5, 6 seats are specific to CJ's.
CJ-5A, CJ-6A are specific to the Tuxedo's. (Tuxedo seats are mounted on tracks)
For CJ-5/6 the 2/3 type driver seat was specific for T90 or T98 installations.
For CJ-5,6 there was an early version and a later (1965) version.

CJ-5, 6 driver seats alone were termed....
early 1/3 type.....................(1955-1965)
early 2/3 type.....................(1955-1965)
early 2/3 type w/ 4 speed.....(1955-1965)
bucket type........................(195?-196?)
late 1/3 type.......................(1965-1971)
late 2/3 type.......................(1965-1971)
late 2/3 type w/4 speed........(1965-1971)
Bostrum type.......................(late 1965-1971)

Your pic shows an early 2/3 type drivers seat with an early 1/3 type passenger seat
There are also certain codes for fabric and color.

 

With a floor shifter, it doesn't look like the middle seat would be useable by anyone over 5 years old.

 

To further complicate this topic.....
The CJ-5 never used the 1/3 type drivers seat as I previously listed.
1/3 type drivers seats are usually but not always for the earlier CJ's.
Many but not all of the CJ-6 seats were specific.
And yes some were even intended as 4 speed CJ-6 only.
All but the earliest CJ-6 passenger seats will have rear legs and some later CJ-5, CJ-6 also have outboard legs.
None of the DJ seats are the same as the other models and Surrey is a specific variable.
The complexity of possible combinations increases dramatically when considering various models.
The color/ trim codes alone can be mind boggling.
It seems much easier to simply identify rather than to detail all the variables.
So do you want the seats in your pic to be identified ?

Yes and no.

Only true concerning the 1/3 and 2/3 type seats.
Bucket type could be pleated and also the Bostrum type seats.
