Seat conversions?

I would love to put bucket seats in my 75 f250. Has anyone else done this before and with what seats? I unfortunately have the gas tank in the cab so it might be harder to find seats that will fit. Post some pictures of your seats!

I got these seats for $20 at a flea market and have used them in two trucks since:


then added a little repair and a lot of padding and seat covers:

now they're very comfortable and heated.

Locally I've seen a rear set of Supercrew F150 King Ranch...

I think they wanted $300 which I thought was smoking.

I put power seats from a 2005 GMC Envoy. They are very comfortable and the 7 way power is cool. They have heat but I don’t have it hooked up.

The split bench seats from a pre-97 will work. You have to fit the old seat rail and it sits slightly lower, but it works just fine, width wise. Finding a clean bench of that vintage can be challenging and so begs the question if you had to re-upholster the original or a '96 split bench....what would you do? The split bench (60/40) is nice. One could argue the head rests make it safer.

Seats from an '06 F150. Not a direct swap, you'd have to fab the brackets. It all depends on what you're willing to do.

I tried '06 F150 seats in my regular cab truck, my knees were literally on the dash and I am 6 foot tall. For a SuperCab or CrewCab, most likely not a problem. But as mentioned, you will have to make a bracket. I reupholstered my bench seat and put it back in.

Good point. I'm 6'3", but it's also a SuperCab. Didn't think about that.

This was reupholstered in the late 80's and has held up pretty well. A bit old school but I like the look. New padding will be a winter project

I think it was a 2002 Ram. The stock brackets are way too tall. I just made a simple rack that the seats mount to.

I went with Corbeau extra wide suspension seats to stay firmly planted when wheeling. Stock seat belts won't work with these though. I got the seats and the frame from JBG, and everything bolted right up. For seatbelts I have their 4 pt harnesses mounted somewhat unconventionally, and I usually only use the lap belt, but it's nice having the shoulder harnesses available.
