captains chairs

do they come in leather only or do they come in cloth as well? This would be for an 08 f-250 crew cab.

If you mean bucket seats, they actually come in four fabrics:

XL - Vinyl
XLT - Cloth or Leather (Treated)
Lariat - Leather (Treated)
King Ranch - Leather (Untreated)

Captains chairs have armrests, bucket seats do not, atleast thats how I categorize them.

I too would like to upgrade to captains chairs as I dont like my right arm just dangling around with nothing to set on other than my lap (vinyl buckets)... lol

I also hate the curvy look of the vinyl buckets in a square looking truck, and the non adjustable headrest. I saw the previous style (05-07 I think) with squarish looking black seats with seperate headrests - it might have been an FX4 maybe? They had integrated seat belts but I assume it wouldnt be a big deal to just leave the belts off those seats (must have been an scab truck I was looking at).

05-07 trucks, FX-4 was not a model, it was an optional package of suspension upgrade and skid plates.

Captains Chairs came with the XLT Sport option, Lariat and KR models and were optional on the XLT.

Leather only or avail in cloth? And could you get black in all these configs? Only reason I thought it was an FX-4 thing is the fellow said something about only being able to get black interior on an FX4 but I dont really know about them upper models (or packages or whatever you want to call em)lol.
