The bench seat on my 57 with a 4 speed manual is pretty well shot. I could take it to a local upholstery shop but it might be nice to upgrade the seat. Can some recommend a vehicle and model year range of either bucket seats or bench seat that fit nicely into the cab of these trucks.

 

I just swapped a bench from an 84 f150...you still need to drill mounting hold and this is without an in cab fuel tank

 

When I bought my truck it cam with a 1991 ford f150 bench seat, The seat sucked because the springs where worn and the interior had hundreds of burn marks on it. I got rid of that seat and i purchased a 1967 f250 bench seat the front 4 holes line up but the back ones do not i made custom mounts for the back that the 2 back posts of the seat slide into. So i slide the back in then bolt the front 4 no movement what so ever.

 

80's f150. I was able to bolt the seat track from the '59 to the base of the f150 seat, so no mods to the floor. One of the best mods I made. Mine is a stiffly sprung F350 and my wife says it's the most comfortabe rig I have.

 

Ha! I love this site! I have a 93 f350 4x4 very hi miles, which a friend offered $1000 for. I've been thinking and wondering about that seat and possibly the axles, maybe it's worth it to keep and mine for parts. Surprising how much the replacement fabric and then installation can cost.
