Hey All.
I've mentioned before that my 53 F100 lives on an island and I don't. Well, the last time I was there the cops gave me a hard time and threatened - well, ok he was a total jerk to me about passengers in the bed. Next time he sees someone in the bed he is going to be writing $85 tickets for each person in the bed. I've been riding in the back of that truck since I was maybe 3 years old but all of a sudden it is an issue.
Bitching aside, I need to mount seats with belts in the bed. I found a solution that isn't too bad. . It just leaves 2 tracks in the bed. SInce I don't have the truck at hand, I wondered if I could get one of you guys to measure width and sidewall height.
Also, does anyone else have a better idea? Only variables I can think of that are important fit, seat belts and the ability to quickly remove. I don't own a trailer queen and use it to move stuff and things.

Good morning Rhode Island.
looks like we have some wind coming. Time to take the brooms away from the mother in laws so they don’t get hurt out there.

Bitching aside, I need to mount seats with belts in the bed. I found a solution that isn't too bad. Quadboss makes a removable jump seat. It just leaves 2 tracks in the bed. SInce I don't have the truck at hand, I wondered if I could get one of you guys to measure width and sidewall height.

I haven't been out to the Island to work on it. I have to share the house with 5 brothers and sisters and Air B&B (covers upkeep and taxes). If the truck didn't "belong there, I would keep it in CT with me.
