anyone recognize this bench seat?

I have a bench seat in my 84 F350. I have no idea what its out of. It may not even be a Ford seat.
After measuring it up, it looks like it would fit great in my '56 (but its the wrong color!)
If i could figure out what it is, maybe i could get another
Any help would be appreciated

links to a couple pics:

It does have that GM look to it, maybe 88 and later GM truck. Head out to a local wrecking yard and see if you can find something similar. It looks like a nice seat

It's definitely a GM.

Probably 88-98 (likely closer to 98)

Maybe from a Silverado.

Probably 58 inches wide - perfect fit for the 53-56 F100s.

Agree. GM truck, late 80/early90. Perfect fit in 53/56 F100. One is in mine.

At the risk of setting tongues to wagging - I must say, I really like your seat.

thanks

Thanks for the help fellas. It measures approx. 57" at the widest part which seems to be a couple inches narrower than a full size ford seat I measured.

My '56 Cab measures about 59" from inside door to inside door. (at the part where the seat bottom would be and with no door panels on )

I'll try and get one at a salvage yard!
Thanks!

I would say a 90' GM, I had a 454 SS with buckets, but my buddy had a 90' chevy with the same style.

I have heard good things about the new GM truck/Tahoe seats with the seat belts built in. Hind sight being 20/20 I would have gone that route, but I acted too fast and bought buckets out of a 2000 Explorer. At least it's still Ford.

Up until Sept-06-05 I worked at the largest wrecking yard in Central Oregon. That is 100% GM truck bench seat. The vintage appears to be the style used in the 88-95/6 (interior style change in late 95 for 96 model year). The seatbelts appear to be of the early style for newer GMs. Our yard would of asked around $100-$150 for that seat if it was in the yard and not the showroom. It is from a regular or poss. crewcab truck.

mark914, just curious, but what is a GM seat doing in your 84 F350?

It could also be an aftermarket seat too.
