another seat thread
Hey guys something a little different today, I'm looking at replacing my front bench, and I recently snagged a set of brown leather Peter built seats from work, brown leather and very nice, I took them off the brackets, do you think I could fab up a bracket using a bronco front captain chair bracket? it'd be nice to have a center console in my truck. I measured out the bench compared to the new seats and they are almost identical in size. what do you guys think of this idea and if bronco brackets are the way to go?

Buckets were not an option in a reg cab or crew cab

Since I wanted to do this same thing, I dug a little and found these folks. I called them and they seem to be the real deal. Any of the 40-20-40-high back type seats they show will fit my single cab 95 f150. Plus I want the console. In addition they sell the rails for them for $68.00 that use your bolt pattern and bolt directly to their seats also. Absolutely no drilling or mods needed, so they say. Anyone have any info on these seats? fairly pricey, but every thing is new and after going to a huge salvage yard yesterday I'm not so sure they are not a good deal. I dislike broken down seats like I saw at the SY and the elements at the salvage yard are a killer for seats. I didn't find any Ford products from my usable years that I would put in my truck.

Sandy,
Does the price include 1 or 2 seats? If 2, it's a good price. We need you to go ahead and order a pair and make a video of the installation. How soon can you get that done?

The only seats available in a reg cab or crew cab was the 40/20/40 or the bench seat. The ONLY reg cab that had buckets & console were 1st gen lightings

I did have an 81 or 82 with captains chairs. However, I don't know if they were factory or not. The bench in my 89 had 4 mounting holes for the brackets. Their were two brackets on the bench that bolted on. The bench actually provided the structure for most of the seat.
I removed the bench and unbolted the brackets. Then used some scrap metal to form the cross beams. I believe 1/2 in by 1.5 or 2 in wide. I'd have to measure the length. Right now it looks like a hack job. I will redo it when I get to the interior work i want to do. There is a place to mount a center console between the seats to the cross rails, and all the adjustments work on the rails and seats. My seats came out of a Econoline Conversion van.
I did find some seat brackets pre made, but they still required drilling holes in the floor pan.
