Seats

Post by bluebolt »

I believe seats up to 1979 wil bolt in but 1980-1996 will require the following (info stolen from Fordification)

One of the very first areas of improvement for many '67-'72 Ford pickup owners is in the area where you plant your butt....the seating. While the factory bench is adequate, upgrading to a split bench or even buckets from a later-model Ford pickup is a pretty painless procedure, considering that all bench seats up through '96 are pretty much a bolt-in procedure if you use your original seat tracks. After removing the tracks from your donor seat you'll have to drill out the threads on the seat frame so the studs on the older tracks can go up into the holes and be secured with a nut. So it's pretty much a matter of...what's your fancy? Factory seats from '97-on will require you to fabricate custom mounting brackets. I present here a small collection of images borrowed from E-bay listings with some of the different styles of Ford pickup seats you can use. It's possible the seats shown here were also used in other model years in addition to what's listed, but this will at least give you an idea of what's available.

You can get biohazard bags off of the internet but most come in boxes of 100. Go date a nurse and have here get you one. Or date a lady mortician and get a body bag.

Doc, you needing a seat? I got one out of a 65, needs recovered, and one out of a 69 Ranger, not too bad, just a seat cover I think. I'm between Douglas and Bisbee if you're interested. Free to a good guy like Doc Pepper,LOL
