super cab owners I'm taking a poll on rear seat

I was just looking for super cab owners feedback in here.I was wondering do you have a rear bench seat or the 2 jump seats and do you like your configuration or do you wish you had the other and why.Thanks

I don't own a Supercab currently, but I had a '79 Custom Supercab. It came WITHOUT rear seats. No jump or bench, just empty space. I liked it...more junk to stuff back there.

Rear bench and I like it. gives you the option of seating or fold it and you have room for the dogs or cargo.

My '75 Sc has the folding bench and I like it. If nothing else, it makes a soft place to land when crawling into the cab from the topper < camping. (I have a Ford canopy and the windows are the same slider.)

Well I have a 76 and I hate both. You could never fit a full size guy in the back seat. I have been in Honda civic's with more leg room.

I had jump seats and replaced them with a bench seat. I like the way it looks as well as it's ability to fold down. I also wanted to put in a sub box while still having room to sit and have it look stock (to the untrained eye). So I put in the bench, split in half with a custom box fitting a sub, amp and 2 rear speakers. I actually just finished upholstering it today (been naked MDF for the past 5 months). The sub box does completely obliterate the ability to fold the seat down now, but at least I have my good sound system and still have room for two midgets in the back.

Supercab rear seat

I have a 76 F350 supercab with the rear bench seat. I'm the original owner; guess I've used the seat folded down more often than as a "real" seat. My grandson does ride back there in a car seat sometimes. I never even considered ordering with the jump seats.

Bench seat here. I don't think it was ever designed for anything more than a 5 year old to sit in. If my slacker kids ever get me any grand kids I could let you know the max age of a rear seat passanger.

I have a 79 supercab with the jump seats. I like them because you can fold them out of the way if you need to put something big in the back and there is plenty of room between them if you want to put a sub box in. I am 6 foot 1, have rode back there and the jump seats actually give you more legroom than the bench seat.

I have had both. The jump seats are horrible. Bench seat is the best, even with the limitations.

Ford did offer a lift kit for the back seat. It made it MUCH more comfortable back there. Haven't seen them in a while. Anybody got a partNo?
