OBS custom seats

Does anyone know the name of those cloth seats that you see in some of the OBS 90's model fords? They look custom and have people say they are extremely comfortable but I cant find a name of them anywhere

If you are talking about the bucket type seats, with armrests on the inboard side, Ford called them "Captains seats". I have them in my 92 F150 XLT, and they sure are comfortable!

Mine is what I call 40-20-40 seats.. They are two bucket seats with a fold down jump seat in the middle that has a backrest that folds down into an arm rest.. and folds up to be a third seat. I hope this makes sense......

This is what I am talking about, this is not my truck but the same kind of seats...

The 40-20-40 seats were an option in '94+ super and crew cabs and probably broncos.

The factory 40-20-40 seats are far more comfortable that the aftermarket seats
The problem is, is trying to find a 40-20-40 in decent shape. They usually get beat to death.

But here are some aftermarket ones
Truck Seats,Bench Truck Seat,Replacement Seats,Leather Seats
Ford Truck Seats, Ford Truck Seat
Custom Truck Seats - Ford, Chevy, GMC & Dodge Pickup Seats
New Truck Seats, In Stock Truck Seats, Air Suspension Seats, Heavy Equipment Seats, Bus Seats
