I have 2 seats and not sure how to tell the difference between the 55/56 seat and the 57 front 2 door bench seat. One of my seats has no material or side shells so its difficult to do a side by side.
If someone has a pic displaying the diffeerences I would appreciate you posting them up
Thanks

Ecklers catalog has pictures of all the seats and covers. The top of the seat back is way different. ...http://www.classicchevy.com/catalogsearch/result/?search_year=ALL&q=seat+covers&x=29&y=15

Thanks that may do it. If I see it correctly the 57 side shell is noticably shorter than 5/6 and the top of the seat back tapers more on the 7 and 5/6 is somewaht bulky.
How about seat without covering?? Easy way to tell??
Thanks

Bob you should be able to look at the seat back-top area. The 57 is thin like in this pic,


And the 55 has a thick over hanging ledge like in this pic, and the framework should reflect that difference.
