I just swapped my original bench seat in 1994 extended cab with 40/20/40 from a 95 extended cab. Drilled the 8 holes and have it mounted with 8 1/2" grade 8 bolts washers and nylocks. All fit great. That said, none of the bolts hit the reinforced part of the cab like the old seat bolts did.

Can someone with an 1994-1997 that came factory with the 40/20/40 bench seat post a few pics of the underside of the cab showing how the floor is reinforced? I'm going to fab some reinforcements up, just want to see what the factory reinforcements look like.

I cant ant seem to find any pics on google showing what I'm looking for.

Thank you,

Kevin

 

From what I understand it should have been a direct bolt-in with no drilling required. Are you sure the new seat came from a SuperCab and not a crew cab or regular cab?

edit: Or maybe I should ask what you mean by an extended cab. Officially that's a GM truck with a small back seat, but when people use it on this forum we usually assume they mean a SuperCab, which is Ford's version of that. If your truck is actually a crew cab (4 doors and a full size back seat) then 40/20/40 seats out of a SuperCab won't fit that easily. I've heard you can do it by putting the SuperCab seats on the seat pan from a crew cab, but they won't bolt directly to the crew cab floor correctly.

 

Truck is a supercab, small back seat with small window. Seats definitely came from a supercab. Saw pics of seat in truck and then out, just no pics of the underside.

Thanks,

 

Interesting...I would have thunk that all seat types use common bolting locations.

I can only share info on a 4 door cab with 40/20/40 seats...they only bolt to the floor in 4 locations. More accurately, the two 40 seats and the one 20 seat all bolt to one big stamped pan and the pan itself bolts to the floor in 4 locations.



Edited to remove this sentence as it is not based on first hand knowledge and I have been told it is not correct: "And this pan spans the width of the cab and uses the same outside two bolt locations as the supercab seats bolt to."

 

I know this isn't related but how hard would it be to put a bench seat in a superman back that came with jump seats

 

If it is dry tomorrow maybe I can lay under my supercab that has factory buckets and get you a pic. I know the "reinforcements" is just a 3/8" thick washer that is welded to the underside of the floor and tapped

 

Easy to add bench to the back seat. All you need is to weld in two 4" pieces of 2x2 angle to use for brackets, right under where the brackets for the bench fall. I did this to my truck years ago.

I also have a lift kit on my seat, raises it 4" to allow for tools, speakers, rifle cases, etc under the back seat.

If you could take a few pics it would be much appreciated.

Thanks all,

Kevin

 

Mine is inside. Supercab with individual seats & console. (not jump seat)

Drivers side looking forward:



Passenger side looking back, inside supports are hidden by cat heat shielding:

 

I imagine the 40/20/40 is pretty similar. That webbing is what I was looking for.

Thank you.
