Worn seats solution?

Howdy y'all,

I've got a 2000 F250 work truck. Bench seats front and rear. The corners are worn out, missing foam and down to the metal.

I've looked high and low for gently used replacements or another solution. But have found none. Does anyone know a solution? Or perhaps a rehab method to replace the foam and then recover seats, etc?

Thanks in advance,

TwoQuack

Agreed and since the floor pans from 99-10 are identical you have a whole lotta choices available.

If you find nice seats that are the wrong color, install some decent seat covers. If the truck does not have running boards, consider installing them to promote longer seat life.

Trucks w/o running boards often have trashed out seats from people sliding their butts over the edge of the seat with their full body weight on the seat at the time.

Always wondered why so many used vehicles have that issue.. Make sense.
