The seats are 23 inches and the center is 14...overall 60 inches. As homade said, they will fit an F100 but who would want them? They scream late model Chevy and who wants that in their classic Ford truck? Too many other options out there to settle for these...cheap isn't always good.

Most of the seats in American cars and trucks are made in China now anyway. Find ones that you like, fit, and are comfortable and ignore what others might think.

Might be true. And I like my Ford stuff as much as the next person. But when was the last time anybody saw a set of Ford late model seats with built-in shoulder belts? Can somebody point us in the direction of a good Ford option with built-in shoulder belts? If not, I'm Chevy bound when it comes time to put a set of late-model seats in my 50 someday.

There was a thread a long time ago about GM seats from the '80-'90's to the effect the seats cannot be re-upholstered. The fabric is glued to the foam. One of the guys who does upholstery (Truxx?) pointed this out. Might be worth looking it up.

I see them all the time...any extended cab pickup has no "B" pillar and therefore no place on the cab where a shoulder belt can be attached. This is not an issue of who manufactured the truck, it's more an issue of why complicate the seat design when it's not necessary. You want to be pointed, here you go...ebay #111005215041
If you have an F1 or an F100 then go ahead and mount the shoulder belt on the cab...or not.

My bad. I honestly didn't realize there were any Ford seats like that in the late model stuff. None of my family's extended cab trucks have those (97, 03, 04, 08 years). Thanks for pointing that out. But as bad as this hurts to say, I swear I think the GM design looks a lot cleaner than the Ford design with those. I may just do the cab mount instead.

Get the shoulder mount brackets from Midfifty, they work great and can be installed with screws if you don't want to mess up your paint job. If your cab is upholstered behind the seat then you can even hide the shoulder belts behind the upholstery giving it a clean look much like the newer vehicles today.
