65 f100 HELP
Hey guys posted yesterday about a bench seat swap. I have a 65 that has bucket seats and they NEED to go! Bench seat a must for a truck. I came across on line a bench seat from a 66-67 fairlane and was wondering if it would fit. Any insight would be much appreciated

Anything will fit with modifications. There is a good chance the seat from the Fairlane will not bolt directly in. The seat frame is different. If I remember correctly, a bench seat from 1965-1977 F-series will fit/bolt in with no modifications. I was told that the floor pans were the same those years and the seat frames used the same bolt pattern. I hope I am right. I sold my bench from my 65 to a guy who had a 71.

Thanks guys. Looks like the 24$ fairlane seat will not do, Looks like im traveling 3 hrs from NY for a $75 original bench. The guy saids it doesn't flip down and he pulled it out of his 77-78 f150.Both of us are assuming it doesn't flip down like a split because it was made for a cab that has the gas tank behind the seat.
