Seat Height Difference?

My SWB drivers side is about 1-2" lower than the other side. I'm pretty certain they were even when I had all my padding, etc redone years ago. I'm the only one really in the truck except for the occasional beach cruise with my daughter in her car seat.

I think it will only get lower over time.
 
The early 40's had a thicker bottom on the driver's side because the seat frame sat lower on the driver's side. The seat bottoms ended up being even this way. Many upholsterers lack the attention to detail for these little quirks and end up making the driver's side and passenger bottoms the same thickness which results in the passenger seat sitting higher than the driver's once installed.
 
DS on my 1970 is lower than pax side. The 1974 seats that came in the donor cab I just swapped are equal height.
 
Here are the seats in my FJ45LP-B. They are the same height. Bought it in January 96 and these were in there.
