       Trust me on this one,there are no other seats like the Corvair FC 
Bucket(Miniature bench to be more accurate). The seat is flat and not contoured 
like most buckets plus its  slightly oversized in my opinion.
I ve searched high and low at one time for seats that match  similarly but 
there just arent any. The Ford Econoline,Dodge A100,or early GMC/Chevy vans 
arent anything like them. All of them are narrower due to the engine box between 
them and none have the outer rear corner 1 inch thick like the Vairs do and the 
other 3 corners 4 or 5 inches. One of a kind as far as I ve found out. You 
could make a set by using 2 bench seat frames though and fabricating the inner 
mounts somehow.
