Hey guys! Father and I just bought a 54 F100 and are going to restore it slowly. I've been searching around to find which Ford bench seats fit the 54. I never find the answer I'm looking for. So question is , which Ford bench seats fit the 54 without any modifications? Right now she has bucket seats from a Cadillac and they aren't the best especially since the driver seat is off to the left. Thanks guys.

 

You are likely going to have to drill a few holes for the mounts but there are a lot of truck bench seats that will fit pretty well. I think the best way is put a tape measure to your seat and then head to the salvage yard. You will want to stay close to factory measurements or your leg room will be compromised. The height is important of course. Too tall and your head is in the roof or the seat back showing through the window. Check the thickness of the seat back as well. I bought one that was several inches thicker and it was a problem for leg room. I ended up having the factory seat reupholstered which wasn't cheap of course. That doesn't have to happen though. There are seats that will work. I've seen guys install Ford and Chevy truck seats with good results. .

 

Thanks for the info , do 70s Ford bench seat fit nicely or will it mess with the leg room ? The junkyards here mostly have from 72 and up , there is no classic car junkyard which really sucks

 

I can't help you with the bench seat since I have the original seat in my 54.

But in want to welcome you to FTE the best Ford truck forum on the World Wide Web! This is the best place to get answers to your questions. I am sure someone will be along later with your definite answer.

And, and ,and we need to see pictures of your 54 or there will be no help at all.
PS: where are you from? Put your location in the upper right hand corner.

 

Here is a good source of info

Thanks man! Yeah I've use the app to get info on my 96 bronco, helps a lot. I thought I put my location already but if anything I'm located in San Diego, California and I'll see if I can post a picture of the truck 👍

 

The cabs on later model trucks are wider than our early, fat fendered models, so the seats are generally wider than the stock seat as a result. Nothing but the stock, original seat will fit without modification. If your floor has been modified to fit the buckets you have not, it may need to be re-modified to fit the stock seat back in.

 

This is the truck, hopefully it works to post.

 

Yeah its been modified and it's hard to find stock seats. Hopefully I can find some soon and hopefully I dont have to do a lot of modifications

 

Take some pics of it and post it here! Welcome!

 

If I remember correctly I tried one. A little wide. I think most any fullsize is generally going to be a little wide as somebody already stated. I think John Niolon from this forum had a fullsize Chevy in his. Can't help but think a Ranger or S-10 might be a good choice.

 

Welcome from the northern end of the state. Im sure you and your Father are in for a lot of enjoyment working on your truck.

 

Edds
welcome to FTE. I had a bench seat from a mid 80's Chevy truck that fit perfectly... so look at 80 somethings also...

Hmm okay I'll see if the rangers at the yard have any seats. Thanks!

 

Thank you! We love this truck a lot, even though my mother doesn't we still enjoy having it
