Bench Seat Information
I think I know the answer to this but I want to be sure before I buy.
Will a bench seat from a '62 fit in my '66 f100?
Dumb question I know but I don't want to waste my money buying a wrong seat.
Thanks guys

I have a extra 66 seat if you need one but bottom needs to be redone.
Freebie if you want it.

61 to 66 are slightly narrower than 67 to 72. and 73 to 79 are slightly longer.
The 61 to 66 brackets bolt to any ford bench seat from 61 to 96. The 73 lower floor brackets are longer and do not fit.

Later seat in a '66
I seem to remember I once did this, got a nice seat, but the seatback would hit the arm rest when flipped forward. It worked fine with both doors open. Is that the problem you're alluding to Garbz2?

Yes,
I have nice Rod Doors panels and rests and the bench seat hits them if i move the back forward. Have to open the doors. The also just hit the stock ones. The 61 66 seat just clears them.

I wouldnt own one of these slicks if you paid me.
NO CUPHOLDERS
.... Hey let me know when you are trying to get behind the seat without at least one of the doors open. I will get off the hiway you might be comming from the other way.

Hey Buzz... I think you've got cup holders but don't know it. They are very unobtrusively integrated into the glove box door. Very elegant design. A bit more luxury than a man needs ( I've got the right side visor and door lock too! ) but if you've got it, flaunt it!

I always thought those were there to set your hot toddy on a level spot at the drive in. Anti beer slipage is good too.
