Need front bench seat

Anyone have a middle front seat for sale in grey, or know of where to find one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cloth or leather? Do you have the buckets in there now?

We have the grey cloth. It currently has two captain's chairs. Ford says I have to buy all three seats, as the brackets for the middle seat won't fit with the captain's chairs. I found a couple of places on the Internet who make the seat and it comes with the frame, which I guess is the route we are going to take.

I will trade you if you want. I am looking to switch to the buckets. Where are you located?

Can one buy a "temp" seat to go between the buckets by removing the center console? Might come in handy...

Well, not exactly.

The stock 20% section seat will fit BUT you have to cut the metal armrest stops off. You then have to figure out how to patch the hole. Which shouldn't be too hard.

Otherwise it bolts right in.

There are some on ebay every now and then. Item #7921798498 is a universal seat.

Item #7920975229 is by a large seller of Ford take-out seats and stuff. Maybe a call to then would be beneficial. I bought a set of chrome, 8 hole wheels from them. They're a good company to deal with, in my experience.

I would ask all who read this to conduct any personal trade/business off the boards. Use the email function.

Yeah, if you're looking for a 40/20/40 bench seat in a standard fabric color (not leather), those RV upfitter guys on ebay are the way to go. They buy their trucks with the cloth bench seats (lowest cost), pull them out with 0 miles on them, and put in fancy custom swivel captain's chairs and stuff. As far as I know, the X front seat is identical to the truck front seat, just make sure you get the right year range to get the same cloth pattern.

I've been looking for a 40/20/40 cloth bench seat to put in the back of my F250 CC (for the headrests) but I'm hosed because I have the XLT Sport with its special black fabric, and they never ever buy trucks with an option like that, thus no take-out seats in my color.
