Supercab seat replacement options?
My seat is toast. Supercabs are unique in that they are split in the middle for access to the back of the cab.
Any other years/options like this? What else would I find a split back seat in? Thanks.

I also swapped a set of 96 40/20/40 seats into my 79 F350...Overall pretty simple! I didn't want to drill new holes in my floor board for the seat swap so I made a seat pan to mount the seats on then drilled holes in the seat pan to match up to the original floor holes! These seats are so comfortable, and with the tilt, and center jump seat/console with cup holders they work fantastic in my truck! Also, the rear seat matched all the original holes, just had to cut down the mounting bracket about 4"

Sorry I don't but here are the details: Since I'm 6'6", I had to remove the seat tracks from the OBS seats and use my original bench seat brackets from my 79. I made a seat pan to bolt up my brackets to, and to mount the seats on. I used a 1/4" industrial aluminum plate (18"x54") to make the pan. I wanted the seats to sit as low to the floor board as possible so I wouldn't have any issues with my height. I just mocked up my bolt locations from my original bench seat bracket (used 20"x 60" cardboard to trace hole locations onto). Then I mocked up my seat hole location for the pan. Then I used a drill press to drill out all the holes on the aluminum plate, creating the "seat pan"! Just remember to "square" seat bracket holes, along with your original floor board holes as well as your seats! So, I mounted the seats to the pan, then mounted the original seat bracket to the pan. then bolt to the floor!! Like I said, very simple

If you look at the pic of V10crew seats, he used the OBS seat brackets to mount to his seat pan then bolted the pan to the floor board. Those seats (using the OBS brackets) would sit way to high for me! My head would be against the headliner!
