Seats

'69 F-100 with a bench seat. What could I pull bucket seats out of to put in there?

After I posted this I realized that you can put almost any seat from any vehicle in there, you just have to decide what you want.

Thats true, but I would ask what have people used and if they had pictures, I am considering buckets but not really sure about it. I would kinda like a newer style F-150 bench seat in mine you know the kind that has the middle arm rest you can move up into the seat if you need to seat a 3rd person.

My "Red Ranger" gallery has 1998 Crown Vic seats installed. Take a look and see if that is the thing you are looking for.

Just a warning- my '70 had buckets in it, as well as my '64, and both suffered from lack of legroom. I don't really know why; the gas tank is removed. I think it has to do with the height of the seats or something. I think the bench seat is higher.

I used buckets from an 89 Subaru in my 84 F-250, they had a nice adjustable lumbar support, and good lateral support. Any seat from Ford trucks will bolt in on the sliders from your old seat, so maybe something from an early- to mid 90s supercab truck would be a good option.
