Replacement front seats?

It's time to think about seats for my 54 panel van. I have the original seats, but don't really want to use them (the passenger side is a jump seat and my copilot won't put up for that).

I know there are some width issues with some newer replacements. What has anybody had success with in putting into the F-100 cab?

There's quite a bit of room for seats in the 54. A lot more than I have in the Bonus Built. Seats from a late model Suburban would fit nice and have 3 point seat belts built in. A buddy gave me a set in nice grey leather, but they're too big for my truck. Width wise they'll cram in but the fore/aft measurement leaves no room to sit behind the wheel. In your newer panel, they might be the ticket.

I'm using captains chairs from a late model GM van in my panel. I wanted step thru room to access the rear from the cockpit plus my shifter would have ended up under a bench seat.
