bench seat

I have a 1985 ford f250 6.9 diesel with a regular cab 8ft bed 4x4 the seat in the truck is shot and I found a clean bench seat for $40 bucks but its out of a 1996 f150. I talked to the guy about it and he said it should fit and I asked some friends about it and they all thing it will fit because of same OBS cab style I just wanted to ask to see if any one knew if I would fit or not
thanks charlie

As far as I know it should fit. Look at the mounting brackets at the bottom and see if there are any differences.

97 when they changed the styling of the F150's screwed everything up. Although I do like the 60/40 split I swapped into my '88 that came from a '97 F150. Had to make a new set of brackets to convert it, but its much better than the worn out bench the truck came with.

96 is an easy swap. Buy it

What cab is the donor truck? 1980-1996 (1997 F250-F350) are the same fitment year-wise, but only single and crew cab interchange with each other. Extended cab seats do NOT interchage, although they do interchage with Bronco seats.

not surprising extended cab seats wont bolt in as that would mean they came from a chevy.

Not to get off topic, but is there anyplace that has actual production numbers on regular cab, extended cab, and crew cab trucks? I'd be interested to see how many CC's were made

I don't care for the later seats. They don't feel as comfortable to me. The 80-86 and 87-91 generation seats are the best I have ever felt. The 92+ just feel thin and flat and more like a Japanese economy car. I don't like them. But that's just my butt talking...
