ok so i was poking around the junk yard the other day and came across a bricknose f350 that had captains seats with a center cosole i wondering if they will bolt up in my 93 f150 or if ii will have to make modifications

 

reg cab and crewcab are interchangeable from 80-97

But FYI, captain chairs were not a factory option in these trucks so someone put them in there

 

Like Brad said, the body style of the donor matters. The model year seems to matter in some cases as well, at least as it relates to seat height. I can't say I've entirely figured that part out yet, just know that it's something to be aware of.

 

You sure about that? I've seen more than my fair share of bricknose Supercabs that have independent (captain's) chairs separated by a center console.

I think you are talking about the 40/20/40 seats.

 

No, I was thinking of the ones that look like the ones shown here (yes, I know this is a Bronco. It was the first image I found): http://people.tamu.edu/~brandonmcnal...c/MVC-003S.JPG

I've seen bricknoses with this setup before, though admittedly it's usually in a Supercab variation, not a reg cab or crew cab.

Supercabs and broncos YES.

Crewcabs and reg cab NO

if the seats are coming out of a super cab, they will NOT bolt into a reg cab

 

.....and they didn't offer a SuperCab F350. I gotcha. Carry on

Mike

 

yea this truck was a 4 door [supercab] so there is no way i can bolt these up without making some modifications to the floor pans thanks for the help guys

 

I think you may be getting your terms confused. Supercab and Extended cab are the same thing - limited space back seats. Crew cab is the big one with full-size rear doors.

Supercab is the same layout as the Bronco and as such, they are commonly found with bucket/captain's chairs. Although it can be done, these seats don't readily swap over to a regular or crew cab due to mounting and height issues. I *think* this statement may not hold up for pre-1990 Bronco seats, but I need to explore that further. And yes, this would make it a mid 8th-generation change, not a clean 7th to 8th gen change.

 

BTW, what exactly is the difference between a bucket seat and captain chair? My favorite U-Pull charges $10 for a bucket seat and $20 for a captain chair.

 

I'm not 100% on this, but I'm thinking I read somewhere that captain chair seats have arm rests and buckets don't.

 

I was thinking that might be the case, but then what do the seats with one arm rest qualify as???

 

Well, could be a half a$$ captain...... Hell, I don't know!!!!!

 

Correct. Captains have one or two arm rests.

Buckets have NO arm rest

and whiteboyslo, ford did make a supercab F350. I jut though I read he said crew cab
