They were out of a 4 door truck so I have the full rear seats, not like the little narrow "butt shelf" that's in the extended cab trucks.

What I can say is that the fronts are pretty straight forward. I mounted them to the existing front seat pan with a few modifications. I had to drill new holes in the pan for the seats to bolt through, trim one corner off and I went overboard and tunneled the front of the pan so I could retain the use of the front slider handle that was with the seats.

The rears, are not so easy. You either have to drill 14 holes in your floor and bolt them to the seat pan or get creative with your fabrication skills and build a custom rear pan. I'll be sure and post in more detail in the truck's build thread once I get the details sorted out. I was out working on this til about 10:00 last night, but I'm over-comitted on other things so I'm not getting a lot of time to work on this. I'm getting close though.

It always looks to me like they're kind of cramped in the truck. The F-150 seats seem to fit about the same as the stock seats do. If I ever get the rears seats finished up, I'll take some pictures, lol.
