1987 F250 Seat to Bench Swap??
Hi everyone... I'm new here, so please excuse my innocent and probably dumb question... I'm learning. I posted this on a different sub section of the forum, and was re-directed here, so I obviously haven't figured out the search feature here, yet.
I've got a "new project truck", a 1987 F250 XLT Lariat 4x4 Diesel. The previous original owner put in a Banks Sidewinder Turbo. It has two Captains seats in the front, and a center console. The interior is OEM, as are the pretty worn out front Captain's seats & center console.
I'd like to take out the Front Seats & Center Console and put in a 40/20/40 folding Bench... or some split bench like configuration.
What Benches (and their years) would fit? Will I need a new seat/bench bracket? What year benches or Ford Model Bench seats would work (SuperCab, SuperDuty, etc...)? As an FYI, I then plan on cleaning the interior carpet, before installing the new bench, and taking the truck to a a Boat Seat/Canvas guy to put on Red Vinyl Marine Grade seats. However, I first need to know what bench will work?
As you can see from the pix, I also need to plan on painting this Silver/Black truck... probably to something else... probably Red/White.
This is a project truck... so to say, but also a daily driver with my wife, a few small kids and a couple of dogs. So far, I've replaced two batteries, the front brakes, rear brakes, all shocks, the whole A/C, and just ordered an older Tommy Gate Lift. In a couple of years, once it's an antique, I may do additional mods, but that's it for now.
I live in Miami, so there are several great U-Picks out here. Please steer me in the right direction as to options for seats that don't need welding, or drilling. I am familiar with tools, but in no way am I a mechanic.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
