Hi All,

I need a seat for my truck. Previous owner put in an overstuffed black velvet beauty in there, which has gotta go. too big for the truck.

Was wondering this...

1. anyone have a stock seat they might sell me?
2. anyone know of alternate seat (from a donor vehicle) that they know will fit and work well in a 61 F100 cab? I dunno? a Ranger seat maybe? S10? what ever.

thanks all

Fullsize ford truck up to 1996 will bolt into the factory holes. Rims up to the same year also swap over.

No they wont bolt in using the seat brackets from 80 through 96.

A 80 to 96 ford truck bench seat will bolt to the stock 61 to 66 seat sliders and mounts as will any 57 through 79 ford truck bench seat. 61 to 79 seat sliders and mount are the same for mounting. The 80 to 96 mounts are about 1 1/2" longer and do not work.

I forgot about having to swap the tracks. Since he does not have the tracks he may want to make the holes for the tracks on whatever bench seat he gets.

Devil is in the details....LOL.

The best selling item i had at Carisile was 61 to 66 bench seats. Seems everyie took them out and now wants to put them back.

thanks for all the info on years and fitments....

I finally found a yard with several options.

what does a decent seat sell for? I have not idea, just don't want to get ripped off..

thanks
