[mrossbach]

I am working on a 46 M5. I need a seat for it.A guy has a 41 M15 seat. The cabs are the same yes? so are the seat frames the same as well? thanks mike r. mich

All M series cabs are the same with the following exceptions:

• The 1945 C-9 cabs retained the US 6 military components (metal door panels, steel glove box, swing out windshield and top mounted wipers
• The M-16 and M-17 models had a firewall "hump" that protruded into the cab to accommodate the longer Commander engine

Surprisingly, my parts catalog does not show a seat being listed. [:0] (There is a picture of one in the cab body view on Page 253 but no corresponding part number shown). Since the cabs are the same any seat from a M5,15, 15A, 16 or 17 should work.
