hey man there is so many seats that will work!!!!!!!!!!! Go to a junk yard and ask to look at all 1973-1995 f series trucks. I am sure U can find one that will work! I have a 1993 seat that is MONEY as in $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. It is so comfortable and looks good too.
John, that looks like really nice interior. Did you get new door panels? The ones in the pics don't match.
Thanks for the compliment on my interior. Yes, I did get new door panels. The panels in the second pic are the ones currently on the truck. I was lucky enough to find those Ranger XLT style door panels in excellent condition at a local salvage yard for $20!
Still a long way to go, but making progress anyway.
I tried to put in a AM/FM radio from a Old mercury/Ford car in there and It just didn't fit right. Than I tried to put in a CD player and the dang thing would hit my AC/Heater ducting and sit out to far to fit right, than I found a truck AM/FM radio out of a 79 in a junkyard, but tested it and It didn't work. So, instead of messing around more and more, I just bought this one. I didn't have to modify anything.

Some great Interiors Ya'll! Patrick - good work in progress - what else you gonna do to it?
For the interior, I am waiting on my black carpet to get here, should be here next week. And I'm still trying to decide on a seat. I have a bench seat that I could recover which would be the cheapest route. I know where I can get a decent 96 truck seat for about $250, or I can get a new truck seat for about $600. So, still trying to decide. Other than that, just some little things to do such as door weather stripping and scuff plates. Door Panels will be black also. Hopefully, by early spring, I will have the interior complete, so I can get ready for the motor.

I did edit my above post after I posted, but It's actually just an AM/FM radio from custom Auto Sound. I didn't want a tape deck since I would never use it. I plan on just using my IPOD. Radio was kinda spendy though.
Thanks for the compliements. Looking at trucks like yours, Scott, and others keep me motivated on my project. Too bad I just didn't have a big wad of cash lying around to just finish it. . But, that's the way these projects go, very expensive in order to do it right.
