I would consider new style sit down high backs. Email me. I can forward some pics of PPL complete front and rear set ups.

I've worked on a 46 Rough Rider with a 6 pack. It's not a difficult design to get the (6 pack) in. Once the bolsters and back seat are out. The side panels need to be removed. You basically work from the outside in to put is together. The front bolster extensions with tie the front to the dash with the side panels and rear back support being thru bolted. The only issue I've seen is the front center passanger has little to hold on to as the cabin entrance is in front of them.

I was actually just going to post that picture lol. I would do that in the front because it is essentially a 3 man setup when you want it, but allows easy access to the cabin when you take it out. Then the only thing you would have to do is convert the back to 3 standup bolsters. I personally hate the back bench seat setup. I don't think I have ever stayed seated in the back seat of a vee bottom as I would much rather be standing and the standup back seat actually gives you more cockpit space.

Thanks guys, I was thinking about going full 6 man (like Tonto) with a some dash work for a grab handle. I might have to make one of the seats removable for those 3 a.m. stumbles into the cabin.
