Where to get new seats for an old truck?

Hi guys. I have a 74 F250 and really wana put a 40/20/40 set up in it from a newer f150 or bigger truck. I really want new SVT Rap seats and then use the 20 middle seat from another f150 for the middle. The SVT Rap seats are the most comfortable ive ever sat in. At least the 2012's are hehe

Anyway, any ideas on where to find seats in black? I already went to all my junk yards around here and they have nothing

Thanks guys!

Junkyard. Do a wider search using the internet. Don't pass out when you see the prices because it's going to be expensive. Pay attention to wiring harness components you'll need to make it all work.

Not sure if the dealer can order them or not. It will cost you many thousands of dollars to go through dealer.

Easy answer.........I found a place online called Discount Van and Truck (you can Google them). They have pretty much any sort of seat arrangement you could want, and can do it in fabric, vinyl, or leather. These are the guys that I went through to put the 40/20/40 setup in Buford, and they have the adapter frames to install into pretty much any truck as well. Granted, I had to make some minor modifications to their frame, but it was a pretty easy install. I'll be honest.....they're not the most professional behaving people all the time, but they have a good selection of products. You can pretty much figure out what you need from their website, and just call them to order. They tend not to want to be chatty, or too helpful finding a solution, as they'd rather just take an order, but if you did your homework on their site, you'll know what you want anyway.

A couple pictures for good measure....




Hope that helps!
