Most of those seats I have looked at looked like they were made on the spot out of a regular seat, just cut and a hinge added. If you can get a decent picture of one I am sure it would be easy to do.

Re: WTB FRONT FOLDING SEAT M718
This is a tough one to find. I will say that you could just a cut a seat and add a hinge, but someone like me will spot that a mile away. The way the edges are finished and the way the hinge is made would mean quite a bit of work to fabricate to a factory look. Just depends on how much of a stickler you are for details...

In the M151 for Sale thread, it looks like one of the two early ones just posted has a fold down seat. The drivers seat has the adjuster screw on the front.

I don't see the folding seat for the ambulance there. The knob on the front is just the adjuster for the early 151 seat. The folding ambulance seat folds the back rest about 1/2 way down from the top. Then with some extensions on the front pivot points for the seat, this allows the seat to fold flush against the dash.

You're right. I was thinking of the fold down front seat I saw on one in NY. It had that front adjuster on it, so I thought that was the same.....
