bench seat replacement

Hey all

I just bought a 1990 F-150 with the straight bench seat. The seat is broken down pretty bad and I would like to replace it. Preferably just a bolt iout/in replacement, I do not want to drill or anything.

What I would like to have however is a seat with the foldable middle armrest. Did they have that option in 1990 trucks? I had a '90 F-150 years ago but I cannot remember what the seat looked like.

There are several junk yards around here so with a little help I can be sitting pretty

soon.

Thanks

The seat in my '94 would fit in there, and has the folding arm rest.

It's a one piece bench seat. The armrest is embedded in the middle part.

I'd rather have a 60/40 bucket-bench setup like the newer trucks though.

But mine is OK. feels like a couch in there.

Here's my seat in action. I usually have the armrest up though.

The added plus is that this seat has the inflatable back supports.

I threw away the bench seat in my '89, and replaced it with the 40/40/20 seat from a 1996 powerstroke (mine) It fit with little effort and no drilling. Now I have an '89 with the highback threeway seat. Of interest, you can get a 3 way seat from most larger junkyards for less than $400.

I replaced my stock bench seat with a Qualtex from an Ebay auction.
Everything fit perfect. I didn't have to drill one hole.
These seats are the same ones JC Whitney sells.
