Question for jowilker

Up to what year are the bench seats interchangeable? (brackets) My '65 seat is so springy I almost need to wear a crash helmet to keep from hitting the roof. Are you guys swapping out your benches for something other? Or do we just sit down/shut up/and hold on !

Up to 79 will bolt in with no mods. 80 to 96 will bolt in using the 65 66 brackets. There a little wider but much nicer on the posterior. Super cab seats have backing along with some TS seats makes for a nice finish.

I have a 79 Trailer Special seat in "Christine" comphy and was a 100% bolt in.

Could be because they are trucks not weed eaters.
