Okay. I have been following this site for a while, and figured it was time for me to get in here and start asking questions.

The first question is, I got a 91 Ford F250 Extended cab. It currently has a bench seat, but I would like to put a set of bucket seats out of a donor bronco. I know that I shall have to reinforce the floor when I drill the holes. Now for the question. What is the best way to reinforce the bolts? Just put bigger washers or weld plates? This is my first time doing something like this.




My next question is pure mechanical. I got a fuel leak, a pretty bad one. I thought it was the fuel pump, so I replaced that, and it is still pretty bad. I got a minor leak coming from the top of the cups on the injectors, but when I turn the truck off I can see it running down the I-Beams and dripping off and a fairly constant rate. I cannot peg where it is originating from though. Any ideas? It is a 7.3IDI Non-Turbo.

 

Re: The fuel return leak...... Double check all the soft lines (return lines) that run between the injectors and the injection pump. If they're leaking at all, it's time to re-do all the return lines, the return line caps (on each injector) and the o-rings underneath the caps. It is curious that it's leaking off the I-beams, though. Most leaks (fuel or otherwise) on the top of the engine will fall into the intake valley and drip off the BACK of the block, which then soaks the starter and pools underneath the back of the engine, not at the front where the I-beams are.

As for the seats, Ford did offer captain's chairs with a center console similar (if not identical) to the Bronco in F250s, at least in the supercabs. I'd be surprised if they don't just bolt right in. If not, I would think a big washer would suffice.

The bolt holes for the seats should already be there. I have been told that every cab had the holes for every seat option available for the cab. So all you have to do is locate the holes through the carpet and re-use the bolts that came with the new seats, or some from the same seat setup. And since '80-97 used the same cab any seat config for a supercab from those years should bolt right in. And I'm pretty sure the bronco and supercab buckets were the same. I know the bench seats were.
