Seat Question

Will bucket seats out of a 1996 F250 fit into my 1973 F250 without modification?

Bench that would be a yes, buckets....well all depends on the mount feet lay out of the buckets. As in there could be a height difference between the front and rear tabs, you might have to bend a tab flat. And I am sure the original bench sliders mount points will not work either.

You might be able to take the bench off the lower frame, leaving the sliders attached. Take the brackets off the bottom of the buckets and set the buckets and the center console on the original bench frame.

Nice looking truck. If you have some fab skills, the seat will work. Take measurements, sit down, draw it out and then start making the brackets. You can do it!

Like I said take the original bench frame and see if the buckets will set on there. That way you can reuse the original sliders mount holes.

If it will work then split the frame get to more sliders and there you go.
