Thumbs up Modern seat for 48-50 F-1

Trying to find out which modern seat will fit a 48-50 F-1 cab. I saw a similar thread on newer models lately. I am planing to leave the gas tank in the cab. Would like to have a 3 point seat belt hook up. I read that some types have the belts built into the seat?
Thank you for any help.
Mike

I put the rear seat from a Freestar/Windstar minivan in my 52. I have removed the tank but there would be room with it I'm sure. There was lapbelts built into the seat but I removed them and used the ones I put in a few years ago.

If you're looking for a bench seat, all the small trucks like Ranger, Dakota, Nissan, Mazda, etc., from about 1985-1995 are the right size for an F-1. The buckets or 60/40s might work too but I haven't tried them...

If you are looking for buckets, these are out of a 96 ford Taurus.

Split bench out of a 90 ranger and check my gallery for photo of 3rd point seat belt mount.

Most supercab late model pickups have the seat integrated restraints. I like the look of the 04-current F150's. The shape of the seat lends itself easily to adapting to custom applications. So do most of the radio's, btw.
