SEATS!!!

Anyone replace their seats? What did you use? Get specific.
Here are my constraints: '77 regular cab 4 speed. I use my truck for long trips and on occasion have to sleep in the truck. SO, I have to have something that has an even seating area. My '07 F150 has a 40-20-40 bench and I like it and it'll work. Because it's a regular cab and I am well over 6' tall there isn't a lot of extra room for big fancy seats.
So help! Mu original seat is showing its age.
Thanks,
R.

I used a standard bench seat from a '94 and swapped out the tracks. Just a straight bench seat, no 60/40 split or anything. It has some moulded headrests, and the only negative that I find is it sits maybe an inch higher than my previous bench seat, and I have the blue strip in the top of the windshield, and am also just over 6', so sometimes I have to lean down to see traffic lights and such. Really good, easy, cheap swap though and mine has a cupholder!!! Oh, and my truck is a regular cab '79 with a 5 spd from a '94 in it, and there is plenty of clearance for the shifter and stuff.

Dogdays,

I used an 1994 OEM Ford F-Series Bench Seat that has the fold down center arm rest and head rests, I liked the seat's features comfort and safety. Used the 77 F-150's original seat frame / track and mounted the 1994 seat onto it. I used 1/2" aluminum blocks between the floor board and seat frame to enable me just a little more under seat storage space without sacrificing too much head room. Also installed a 2010 Ford Ranger OEM cup holder onto the front of the seat and it doesn't interfere with my transfer case lever,

Going unconventional. These buckets are out of an 01 mustang. I'm 6'10" and the frames are low enough to give me plenty of clearance ☕
