That's pretty funny. Unfortunately, there was 1 bucket seat that didn't fit in it when I bought it.

Nice one Colonel!


Take a rough measurement across the cab and head to your local pick-a-part yard and do a bit of searching. Alot of guys have had good luck with the 88-93 GM truck bench seats. They make a real nice 60/40 split bench that is pretty danged comfy. I would imagine that Ford trucks probably have something similar.

Good luck
Bobby

I used the 60/40 split bench from a Ranger (probably early 90s). It was very comfortable for cross-country road trips. One caution is to be careful about how you build mounts to go between the factory seat holes (if you aren't drilling new holes in the floor) and the new seat bracket. My brackets weren't quite stiff enough, and the passenger seat moves a bit (especially if the passenger is a bit on the hefty side). The Ranger seat mounts were designed to mount to a non-flat floorpan. If you are interested I can take pictures and post.
