hey guys I have a 1986 ford f150 regular cab longbed and my bench seat is gone lol so I was reading that I can use a 40/20/40 seat from a newer truck? I'm not really sure on what I need to know to get er done, should I use regular cab seats, supercab seats, or crew cab seats? I'm confused all the help would be gladly appreciated thanks
My understanding is that the floor pans of Broncos and extended cab trucks are different than a regular cab's floor. But, that regular cab floors didn't change until well into the 90's. So a split bench seat from a regular cab is what you should be looking for.
I believe it will bolt in. But I don't know if all regular cab seats fold forward.
I did a lot of research on seats a year ago as I wanted Bronco buckets in my regular cab. That's when I found that Broncos and extended cabs have a different floor pan and their seats won't fit a regular cab. People do it with all kinds of shims, but it doesn't really fit "right".
I want buckets and a center console with cup holders and the only ones I know of is the 40/20/20 seats and I'm 6' tall so I want something a little bit lower or the same as the factory bench. I was doing some searching and I've heard so many different things that I don't know what I should do
Not sure what mine are ment for, but these seats were bought back in '94, a guy over in little mexico was on the corner selling all kinds of seats brand new still in plastic wrap. Not sure what this goes for but he said this would work and it did work in my '82. It has seat pockets on the back side and it bolted down to the factory bench seat tracks. Did have to shim it a little cause the seats were too low but that wasnt that big of a deal.
In the early 90's Ford made a seat base that bolts into the bench seat holes and then buckets and a console bolt to it. Go look at my thread called Dad's Truck Build for info on that.
So they bolted up to your oe seat track? Is there any way you could find out what they came out of? Do they fold foward and hows the height of them?
The headrest on the two outboard bucket style seats come up to the middle of the back window, they do fold foward as well as backwards.
Im not sure what they came out of and the ticket I have on them from the guy I bought them from doesnt say.
considering they were bought back in '94 or so just after I got the truck they would have to be an early 90`s seat. Considering that they also have pouches on the back of the seat they must be for a vehicle that has seating in the back unless they just put the pouch on for convience to store items.
Yep, its clean but hard to keep the truck that way. Not too hard to clean it out though with the rubber floor mat just a tire scrub brush, some soapy water and a water hose and your done.
Heres some photos of the seats. I even included photos of the OE track and the spacers used to raise the seat up some. Cant remember though if it was for clearance or for raising the heigth of the seat up some.
I need to get the seats taken out and have them re recovered, just cant deside on if I want them to be restored back like they were when I got them new in the early 90`s, or try to have them reproduce a factory 80`s look.
