New seats for an old truck? Where to get..

Hi guys. I have a 74 F250 and really wana put a 40/20/40 set up in it from a newer f150 or bigger truck. I really want new SVT Rap seats and then use the 20 middle seat from another f150 or other for the middle. The SVT Rap seats are the most comfortable ive ever sat in. At least the 2012's are hehe

Anyway, any ideas on where to find seats in black? I already went to all my junk yards around here and they have nothing

Thanks guys!

(I posted this in both f150 sections here on FTE as well)

Your want new seats in an older truck and I want older seats in my 2012!
I want to get rid of my 40/20/40 set up and put in a full one pc. bench seat. I need one to sleep in it. I am a hot shot driver and sometimes need to sleep in the truck. Kinda hard to do on a 40/20/40 I miss my 2008 psd. It had a bench seat and I could sleep very comfy in it.

When last I checked, the take-off shops that I could find in DFW, TX weren't really stocking seats any more. The reason being that between power requirements and air bags in the seats, it just wasn't worth it to keep them in stock.

About all the takeoff shops are good for these days is tires and wheels, and only if you need OEM wheels...

This particular forum is for '99-present Super Duty trucks, so you may not get as much of a response up here. I'm going to send this one down to the '73-'79 forum, you may find some more help down there.

All parts sales here are done in the marketplace section of the site, selling items on all other areas is prohibited.

I put a Corbeau baja rs seat in my 97 f150 because the driver seat was wore out. The passenger and middle part of the seat is in great condition so I left it. The new seat makes the ride much better. Here is a pic Seat was $300 by the way and I installed it myself
