Help installing backseat headrests
Hey guys, My 01 350 did not come with headrests in the back bench seat in my crew cab. My father was recently in a rear-end collision, and the headrest saved him from a broken neck. I am looking at going to the auto wrecker's and finding some headrests that should fit. Do you guys have any idea of the structure within the seat itself? Steel, where it is ect. Any help would be awesome!
Thanks.
Thanks.

i dont think you should expect to add just headrests..
theres gotta be some inner structure your back seat frame wont have, that attachs and supports the headrests.
basicly ur gunna need to replace the entire rear seats.

I was hoping there would be some steel frame in there, that way I could take the material off and weld up some brackets. Budget is tight this month.

i would think you can do that it seems like you wouldnt have and issue with that that was my first thought as well, are the new seats like that anyway? or are they adjustable? because if they are fixed then they are probably welded like your thinking of doing

I don't know what it looks like but if you want I can snap a picture of the back of mine after I pick it up from the body shop today. Its really easy to remove all you do is pit your hand between the bottom cushion and back Brest and lift up, do thtlat on both sides and its out.
