I used to have 97 F250 supercab and I had a daughter and when I put her in car seat with front face and it dont look too comfortable cuz the bench is too short make the car seat lean more to forward and I was shopping around and got good deal that I cant turn it down and trade in for 2003 SD F250 crewcab and the carseat looks much better in crewcab and more comfortable for my daughter and my safety for kids come first which is why i did trade the pick up. So, I recommand to get crewcab or fullsize rear bench if you can find and I doubt for pick up. Good Luck with your long term decision.
