bench seat swap

I just moved back to PA from CA and am i really disapointed in the cost of junk yard parts here in PA. Everyone wants top dollar for there stuff! Prime example bench seats. Pick n pull out west $45. Junkyards here, $150-250.

Anyways, reading the tips and tricks pages i see that up to '96 bench seats will swap in. My question is, do they need to be from same size truck? Example i have a 250 highboy. Do i need a 250 seat? Most craigslist ads here are f-150. Would those work or are they smaller in size?

All seats up to '96 will fit, that includes F150's F250's and F350's.

Fwiw the rear windows up to '96 will fit our trucks as well.

No it doesn't matter if its an F150 F250 or F350 as long as it is 96 or older

What part of PA are you located in?

Same , you may have to use your original tracks from your old seat. I did when i used an 87 f-350 seat in a f-100.
