Bench seat

My 53 has bucket seats in it right now. I want to put a bench seat in it so more then two people can ride in it. My buckets have built in head rests which I like so I am looking for a bench with some kind of head rests. I would like to know what can be used and see some pictures.

Hey Rick,
This article has all kinds of seat info in it about what fits our trucks.
It's a bit down the page. Good luck over there - I've got a 1950 with a chevy S-10 seat - fits fine but the '48-'52 cab is a little smaller.

Most F150 seats work just fine. I had on out of a 92 and it was perfect width and had built in headrests.

I have noticed lots of bench seats being given away on craigslist lately. You could check out the give away section or the autoparts section and see if they're the right width. Good luck, Jag

Nice seat Chuck!

I'm still shopping around for one, looking to put an old GM truck seat in, unless i can find the worlds cheapest front seats from an F150 Harley Davidson

CharlieLed thank you for the info and the picture. Is it out of a 92 f150? That is what I am looking for.

I bought this seat from a local guy on CL for $75, he told me that it was out of a 92 F150 but I have no way of verifying the exact year. I wouldn't get too hung up on the year though, I believe that this style seat was used across many year models.
