    The back of my seat broke. don't know how, but it has broken where it leans a lil to one side & to the back. where can I get one? I want the cheapest seat that will fit.I have a intl coe so do I have to get from dealer? I have seen seats at freightliner dealer, truck pro. e.t.c. are they interchangeable? bolt up the same way? with mine being a coe does that make a difference. my seat is air ride.

    They are all pretty much the same as far as bolting in. Try neely Coble in Decatur there. In Nashville they are cheaper than anybody else for the same thing.

    Not sure about your cabover. Vander-Haags has new and used seats.

    Pull the seat and cushion then reweld frame for 10bucks. You're already pulling seat to switch anyway....

    All seats do NOT bolt to the truck the same. Different bolt patterns.
    I had to make a custom mounting plate when switching seats....
    I have a Legacy seat.....love it but it will not just bolt into any truck.

    Good idea in pulling that seat out and find out what is broken...could be a quick welding fix like suggested.

    At the factory you can buy their seconds.
    Another place, used to sell new takeouts was the Freighliner dealer in Portland, OR. They would sell the New seats removed when changing out custom ordered seats in trucks they sold. Don't remember their name. I would think most dealers would have some seats to sell whenever they have a custom change.

    Another spot to look would be a used truck parts yard. Not much demand for used COE parts. Miss driving my cabover. SO much better view of traffic.

    the bottom seat is fine the back is the problem, not sure what gave way. have to cut back cloth to see the prob, but then I better have replacement. I felt around the back & did feel what I thought was a piece of sheet metal.
