frahms_4,
55 through 57 TBirds all came with bench seats, some manual, some two way powered. There are all kinds of sources for seat covers in original colours and patterns for each year (each year was different) and can be had online, such as National Parts Depot. They priced out about $250 in 2004. They have new preformed foam under cushions available as well, about the same price as I recall.

As for the metal frame and mounting rails, there was a used set on eBay just yesterday, but I don't recall the price. They show up from time to time. Be aware that none of the parts for these cars are cheap, but just about everything can be purchased for their restoration from NPD or similar sites (search Google for 55-57 Thunderbird parts), or can be found on eBay as used. You might be able to find a complete seat that just needs a new cover. Good Luck!
