Got the passenger seat installed yesterday. had to use the subframes from old seats which weren't stock but it worked. I had to drill three new holes in bottom of seat but it worked! Not to thrilled about all the unused seat controls on driver side not being used but I'll swap the frames on driver side soon and post up another pic. I got the seat pretty dirty on install so a good shampoo will be in order when I'm finished with the other side. Any suggestions on a console? I couldn't use the one from the expedition b/c it was too long.

 

Got the other seat in and removed the center console.

still looking for some suggestions on center console...

 

2010-13 F250 console

 

how do the new seat feel to sit in / seating position compared to the original?

 

the new seats are VERY nice and fitted better to support my back.
I noticed that the manual adjustment for lumbar is SO much nicer than any lumber I've ever had in any vehicle. Some manual lumbars just have a lever that rotate about 90 degrees for maximum support. This one has the big **** on the side and as you rotate it really pooches out when it's turned up to the max.
Very nice.
The height was about 1.5" taller than old seats. The seats are definitely FAR superior to the old seats for comfort. I have a real stiff clutch and I could feel my back cave into seat when shifting and made the truck harder to drive.
After new seats were done I rode out last night and it was much more support when shifting than before! Glad I made the swap on all accounts! A saggy headliner can sometimes touch my head if I sit really tall in the seat so I'll have to fix that. I probably have about 4" of head clearance if headliner was where it's supposed to be.

 

Looks good. I would sure miss my center seat though. How's your girlfriend/wife going to snuggle up to you now? lol

 

yeah. my wife will be real sad I did keep the center seat and it will fit but I need a grey one. i may consider having it recovered in gray and use it.
We'll see. I use this truck to cut wood so I could use a lot more storage in that space but I don't know.

 

I like my cloth bench in the 96. I would have to sit in one to feel the difference

 

I'm sure the cloth bench was way better than the two buckets I had in mine. The passenger seat was ok but the driver seat felt like sitting in a bucket!

 

Maybe some broken springs

 

Looks good. I had a 98 F-150 and I liked how the seats rode. Those seats look the same as my F-150 had.

I put in a 2011 center console in mine and I love it. Here is my thread with pics.

 

Chris, That's a really nice looking console. I wish I could have put one of those in but since I'm low on funds, I went ahead and made one. This was my first time wrapping vinyl and I think it came out really nice.
I used some brushed aluminum for the face plates and bought the cup hold from advance for 7 bucks. Including the vinyl, I got about $50 in it using some MDF we had laying around. I hope I can get it bolted down good.
Taking it home tonight!

 

That looks real good. Does it double as a storage compartment? And ip it high enough to use as an arm rest or is it a seat?

 

Its storage and armrest. Not a seat so my wife won't be able to ride in the middle but i need storage!!!

 

that is a nice box. i'm thinking of doing something similar if i can find some good bucket seats in a junkyard. i think the exposed metal/fasteners look is just right for our trucks.

my wife just bought me a cheap sheet metal brake from harbor freight (not generally a fan of HF stuff, but it was one of her better birthday gifts), so it seemed like a good project for that.
