Ray, how did you get head rests for the 3d row? were they head rests retro fitted from another vehicle or completely custom?
The lack of head rest on 3d row is my biggest seat complaint. Anyone else have 3d row head rests?

They are from a F150 that was mounted to the third row. I took conduit and mounted this to the wood seat back. Then installed the headrests and screwed them through the pipe, through the headrest post, and then into the wood seat backer. This is a "work in progress". The headrest hangs over the back too much for me. They are also non-removable right now. My future plan is to install 2007 Expedition Headrests in the 2nd row after highly modifing the posts. I then will make the F150 headrests thinner from front to back. Then take the seat apart and try and figure out an adjustable, removable headrest for the third row. I figure these are good WINTER projects. 
I'm glad everyone seems to like my interior. A lot of time, thought, and money went into the design and implementation.

They Are The Nicest Seats I've Seen In An Excursion, Looks Better Than Most High Priced Up-scale Cars. I Would Have Personally Converted Mine To A "king Ranch" Excursion, Has Anyone Ever Tried This Or Are There Any Pictures Out There?

I was looking for $200 for the fronts, $500 for everything in the pictures. I know that just to purchase a Front Seat Bottom from Ford is in the $170 Neighborhood.
I want to point out the following. For right now....1st row is missing the armrests. 2nd row is missing all of the 40% seat covers and the bottom of the 60% seat cover. 3rd row has everything. I just found this out when I unpacked them from the upholstery guy. He gave me a hard time about me keeping the OEM covers. I think he might be selling them himself. Who knows. Anyway I have him "looking around" in his shop for the missing pieces. I may "drop in" on him next week to see what he has found. If he can't find them I'll have to sell what I have. If he does find the missing pieces, I'll honor the above price for you. If you want to take a pass on these, that's okay. I'll offer them to the other FTE members in the order that they EMailed showing interest. If that fails, there is always EBay.
Thanks for your interest

Did You Forget Ford Pkup's Have A King Ranch Package With Saddle Interior, I Would Have Converted Mine To Look Like That. I Don't Know Why Ford Never Offered That In The Ex.

I think that the King Ranch in a beautiful interior. I believe Ford never offered it because it would have pushed the cost of the truck from the high 40's / low 50's all the way up to the high 50's. A new superduty with the King Ranch interior is close to $60,000. You would still have to add the cost of the third row in. My 2 cents.......
Also the King Ranch is extremely high maintanence. If you want it to look nice, you have to stay on top of the cleaning and conditioning. I have heard the conditioning is a little more involved than regular leather, and the cream is not something you can buy at AutoZone or PepBoys.

The fronts are gone. They have found a new home. The other pieces in my Gallery are still for sale. I also have the 3rd row up on EBay.
