Bench seat needed.....

So my 1960 F100 came with some rather horrible seats in. Driver and passenger with a fold down in the middle. Very low down , hard to drive with the seats being that low. Soooo..

I am looking for a bench seat to put back in place.

Anyone know where I can get one ? I have emailed as many places as I can find offering parts on CL in and around me in the east bay in Nor cal but if anyone has any other suggestions I'd be grateful.

Thanks in advance.

I put a '61 seat in my '57 and it fit great. Used an upholstery kit from LMC to freshen it up. That gives you 57-64 and maybe a little later to search for.

Ive heard the back seat out of a late 90's suburban will fit. Your best bet though may be is to take some measurements and head to the local salvage yards.

true but i have talked to them and like others have stated the early 53-56 and the later 61- could fit nicely. plus a couple of really nice 57-60 trucks I've seen at shows had glide seat frames. the down side they do want a pretty penny for them
