Hello

Hello,

This weekend I'm picking up a '70 F250 390ci and 4 speed 2wd.

would like to install a new bench seat with a fold down center consle any ideas where I can find one?

My current plan is to use this truck as a hunting/utility rig.

body is straight with very little rust.

list of whats wrong with the truck:

burnt valve
needs brakes & tires
clutch chatters

This is my first Ford, my other project is '73 Dodge Challenger with a stroked EFI 408/4 speed.

Welcome to FTE! Congrats on your new truck! Bench seats from '67 up into the 80's are very easily interchangable, so just hit your local salvage yard for a decent seat.

Hi and Welcome!

Also, you can look for pretty much any seat from a newer full-size truck or SUV that has the features you want and adapt the mounts to make it fit. I'd look for one in a full-size Bronco, I think a lot of them had a center console like you want (though they may have been more like buckets with a console) and should be easy to adapt.
