When the trucks are built they are built with the floor to accept either seat, you may need to install a bolt from the bottom to push a hole in the floor board. The only differece you need to be aware that the extra cab and regular cab use different seats and if you install a regular cab into an extra cab truck, you will not be able to get into the back, or have a hard time getting in, as the seat may lean forward, the extra cab is split in the middle and allows more room to enter the back seat.

As far as I know, only the original ones. I know that the early ones came with jump seats and some came with a bench that folds down. My truck has the bench and its great.
Dont know of any others, maybe someone out there might.

We have an Aerostar and took one of the seats for more cargo room. The seat would fit nicely in the back of the supercab for the kids, though not necessarily for adults because of reduced legroom. I would have to fabricate mounting brackets, probably from angle iron. Big job, but might work.

Might be a little too big, and will make it hard for anyone even kids to get in. You may want to check the size before you buy it. There are a lot of these trucks in wrecking yards and down here most sell the rear seat for around $150. The newer ones are cloth, but like my truck it is vinal. If you do this, please let us know how it fit and worked.

I measured the aerostar seat and, as I said, it would be a bit tight for adults, but should be fine for children. I likely would pull the existing bench and just set the aero seat back there and have the kids sit there for a while to see how it will work. They don't like the bench that much because it makes them sit bolt upright.

Just a note, I bought front and rear seats from same truck from salvage yard, $350, and rear seats fit fine , but is it o.k. to attach seats to floor using bolts? The bolt holes from factory seem much more substantial, and in case of a wreck, I would hate to trust this setup

Good Point. Would have to use high strength bolts and reinforce the holes with large washers. Likely would also need to be sure of high quality bracket fabrication--possibly too expensive. For now I guess I should just shoot for the front bucket. If the wife's back feels better maybe she will forget about the kids seat, especially since they really don't complain about it anyway. I don't find the F150 bench any less comfortable than her Aerostar bucket and actually, on long trips, I get a cramp in my right leg with the Aerostar. But then she has some back problems and may need the extra support of the bucket.
