My son also put a set of these hi-backs in his 76 F250 4x4 hi-boy a few years ago and loved them!! He also put the center console in his truck.
Consider parting with those?

I will admit that I didn't know the BB came with both low and high back as an option. I thought the only option was a low back. Because I think seats like that would look great in my truck

Yep, they were a factory option. Like I said, they are great, very comfy--love'em...I have another set that I "might" consider selling. They need re-upholstered. But the shipping might be pretty stiff??

You could also get a split bench as an option as well

Smaller guys (no offense to anyone) may have no problem at all.
I prefer to think of myself as in-shape rather than small.
