Bucket Seats.
I was flipping through the factory brochure and the "Features and Specs" book.
Noticed Buckets were an option. Look remarkably like car buckets, anyone tried to put some from a Mustang/Falcon/Fairlane in to a 67-72 F series?
Pictures of an original set up, or a swap?

ROBERT,
it was a factory option, ford made special brackets to mount
buckets(mustang) into the 67-72's
Looks sweet!!!I have the brackets, i need to find a set of buckets
for my crew now..
Also theres an owner of a crewcab on this site that has
the factory buckets up front...

Hmmm, the wheels are really turning now.
How hard are the brackets to find?
Wonder is something from a van would work?
How cool would a set of "PONY" seats and a Mustang console be?
Mustang seats are easy to find around here, and you can rebuild them from the frame up with redily available new parts! Unlike Truck seats!

I installed the seats out of my 65 Mustang into my 72 F-250 4x4. It was pretty simple. Take the brackets off the original bench seat and reinstall them into your pickup. Get some 1 1/4 square tubing and cut two pieces to fit across the cab and weld a tab onto the square tubing so you can bolt the tubing to the seat brackets. Take the Mustang seats, with brackets and bolt them to the square tubing. When you bolt the square tubing to the p/u seat brackets, be sure to space them so the Mustang brackets will bolt to them. By doing this, you can move each seat individually or move them both at once. You will have a space about 10 - 12 inches wide between the seats to pile 'stuff' in or make a console to fill the space.

Please go ahead and post address for source for seat brackets.
Guys
For those with buckets, how do you like them versus putting in newer Ford bench or 40/60 bench type seats from 78/79 years?

I would love to see a GOOD picture of what the bucket seats looked like in these trucks. Moreover, I'd really LOVE to see what that center console looked like.
I think I am gonna follow the footsteps of Ibell and install a Dodge Ram seat with the flip down center console if I can't find a center console to go between the Mustang buckets.

The pictures in the brochure are not great.
If you take a look at the factory literature. (Larry has it online I think?) it is in there I'm pretty sure.
Funny thing is, the brochure says "bucket seats are available in parchment and include black carpet"..................................
Do I read this correctly that that was the only color? And what color would th erest of the interior be?
