Thanks Kraka, I have one on my FE Sedan that I can copy. I was mainly fishing for more elegant DIY solutions, I've got a few responses on Facebook so far.

One of the last puzzle pieces for my panel van is to sort out the gearbox crossmember, the old one was some booger welded SHS that had a 5mm wall thickness, and was just bolted to the floor with spacers.
I'd like to do a neater job but I'm reluctant to fork out $1K for a CRS chassis kit when I only really need the rails and crossmember.

Has anyone done a DIY arrangement? Any tips or tricks?

Have you seen this mob?
Classic style LED headlights, doubt you'd need an alt upgrade for them.

Hi Harv, sorry for my ignorance, are FC/EK front seats interchangable?

Yes, they are, FE/FC seat backs are slightly taller than FB-EK though.

Just sent you an email to get some pics sent, assuming the address in your profile is current.

Thanks Rob, I have since found this listing with pictures showing the backrest/squab.

Of all of the FE/FC front bench seats that I have recovered the backrests have always had side openings with sleeves that are held together with an internal zig-zag wire and hog rings, this is then covered with the plastic trims.

I currently have an FE Standard seat in my workshop that has no side openings and no side plastic, is this factory standard or am I looking at a very old custom seat re-trim?

I found this on eBay ($95) plus postage. Says it is FE; however, suspect that it is FC.

Also, don't waste your money. I have one you can borrow, just PM me your postal address.

That's FC and a pretty nasty example if you ask me, FE arm rests doubled as door pulls and are the same as 55-57 Chevs.

I've been playing with AI stuff lately and came across an image generator.

My spec - a bright red 1958 FC Holden Panelvan with big 5 slot jelly bean mags, parked in a car park.
