Due to a short between the helmet and the stick, I am in immediate need of a round-backed front seat (locking pin on the left side--not sure if they're all that way or not).
The nice folks at Dawson have a square backed seat from an early Chickenhawk, but I would need to buy two to have a matched set. So if anyone knows where I could acquire one round backed seat, I'd appreciate it.
And if you needed to know, it's a good idea to put the tailgate up on your truck when you go to lunch if you have expensive airplane parts in the bed.

Ouuuuch
So it's not repairable? Or worse maybe you don't know were it is to repair it.
If one owns a pickup, it is only a matter of time till something is missing out of the back of it. Thank goodness the Christmas tree I lost once was on the way to recycling rather than home for the holidays. Worse thing usually is someone, no doubt, told you you would loss it and you said no way.
Wish I could help with another seat. What ever you do those seats out of a Chicken Hawk are not only square on the top but in the front and they don't allow the seat to slide forward far enough to get them on and off the seat track in the front. Many have used them and are happy with them however. If I had to go the Chicken Hawk route, I might look at the frame towards modifying it for a round top and front.
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!

pilotMiketx, give me a call sunday night I'm in the directory. I have both front seats removed when I swapped my for 172 type. still round top and bottom. I'm sure they will need new foam and cover. Ron Massicot
