Compatible seats with F550

My company has a F550 that has 40/40 seats with a center console. I'm wanting to know what other F series trucks would have compatible 40/20/40 seats, that I would be able to replace the middle console with a seat. I am not having much luck finding the seats for a 550 in my area, so just trying to see if there are other options. Thanks in advance for any help or info

The cab on a F550 should be the same as a F250/F350. If yiu already have the bucket seats just remove the current center console and install flip up center seat (assuming that’s what you want is the additional center seat section) make sure it comes with the seat brackets as those brackets straddle the transmission hump and bolt in where the inner mounting bolts of the bucket seats are located. The brackets themselves overlap one another n the inner section.
I’m assuming you have the bucket seat center plastic storage console and another bucket seat for the passenger and want to have the typical flip up center seat/console with drink holder when backrest is flipped down. Any center flip up seat/console will bolt in.

I just did this a couple of months ago on my '05 250. Im not sure of your year truck....but on mine, the armrests need to be removed and there is a "stop" there for the armrests o the seat frame. These will need to be cut off with a cutoff wheel and then ground to make it smooth. The rear holes for the middle seat should already be there, but they are not threaded. You can use a pair of bolts from your front or rear seats and use an impact and drive them in and then order more bolts.
