I just bought a 1977 supercab. it has a solid front bench in it and is missing the tracks. My ???? is what are the diffs between the split bench that came in the super cab vs. the split bench that came in the 78 - 79 Bronco. Will they interchange?

Also untill i figure that out I am looking for a seat of seat tracks.

Welcome to FTE

D4TZ1061704A .. Right Seat Track / Obsolete

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.
-----------------------------------------------
D4TZ1061705A .. Left Seat Track / Obsolete

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has ONE = 800-543-4959.

Fit: 1974/79 F100/350 Super Cab / 1978/79 Bronco with full width seat.

 

The split bench was unique. The seat you have in there now is from a reg cab truck but it still should have adjustment on the seat track unless someone really got handy.

 

The '73/79 truck parts catalog does not show split bench seats for Super Cab's and does not list any seat tracks for split bench seats.

The catalog only shows a full width seat...only the backrests of the seat are split and fold forward.

This same full width seat with split backrests (and the R/L tracks) were also used in 1978/79 Bronco's (see post #2).

Split bench seats are defined by Ford as two individual seats.

 

I realize I worded that wrong I was referring to the split back of the seat.

 

Thank you guys for the welocme to FTE and for all the information. I appreciete the clrification on what I am lloking for. I kinda want the "split back" seat because my wife and I have 3 small kids, and they will be climbing in and out....

No that I know the Bronco bench will work I can use my contacts in that world to for the seat. The Bronco's from what I remember cam with the split front bench more offten then the pickup did.

thanks again,
Shane

 

All 1978/79 Bronco's have either a full width seat with split backrests, or two individual bucket seats.

1974/79 Super Cabs use the same full width bench seat with the split backrests and the seat tracks the Bronco's used.

No other Ford truck in the 1970's came with split backrests.

 

Cool, that tells me what to look for, now I just need to find one.

Where are you located? My 74 supercab will be my next build "victim" and this seat will be coming out. It obviously needs a cover, but I am open to parting with it as I think I'm going to buckets on it.

Not the greatest pics - but the only ones I have

 

he is in canton,Ga, near atlanta

 

d'oh - I missed that in the bottom of his post - I was just looking in the user info area where it shows if you fill that out and I didn't see it there.

That's probably too far away to make use of my seat. Oh well

 

Sorry for the dealy, I am located about 30 miles north of Atlanta. Where you at?

Shane

 

Yeah I just did the same thing, respond with out looking at the location. Prob will not work..
