passenger seat

[sktww]

i got new seat covers and will replace the plywood board under the pass seat.
i did find some history there. it was replaced in the '60s and was supplied by a company from Mcallan tx. the company is still around but has ben bought and sold several times. while i won't be using this wood it will go up on the wall to show off some of the history of the truck. now the question, i found some "washers" underneath. anybody got any ideas? i assume they were to hold some sort of cover.
what do yall think?

Yes, those were for the laced on covers, held on with ropes. It is explained better on page 359 of TM 9-8031-2. I don't know if there were originally any other type but I have seen some re-covered seats with staples or tacks holding them on.
