Seat Interchange
I did a search and really did not see an answer on the first few pages. I have a 79 F-250 with a bench seat. I have a bad back and want something a bit more comfortable. I need to carry 3 in the front sometime so I need another bench seat. Is there anything from a newer Ford truck that is a direct bolt in? I can always modify something but if there is something that is an easy swap I would like to go that route and just look for a certain color. Thanks

I have seen guys take seats out of a super duty bench seats with lumbar suport backs, but I don't know how much mods are needed, and I don't remember who did it.
Does anyone know IF super duty seats will fit, I've seen someone do it on here, but don't remember who???

I heard of a few guys that said all the seats upto 1996 could be used. I have never done it, but was thinking of upgrading mine too. The '76 seat...although good for the day, is getting tired...along with my back.

Seats will inter change from 73-97. 96-97 have to be out of a F250HD the old body style. I have done it all you have to do is bolt the 70s slide rails to the newer seat. Its a bolt in deal no holes to drill no nothing.

so if i have a 1977 ford f250 I can put the seat from my 95 f150 in it. Its the one with the big fold down armrest that can be pushed up for a third seat. Also keep in mind that i have the in cab fuel tank. I want bucket seats but don't know what would work the best
