Front Seat Interchangeability

Hey, does anyone out there know if a front seat assembly from a 05 F150 supercab will fit a 03 F150 supercab? I miss the seats in my 05, and now that I own a 2003 F150, 6 cyl supercab, I really miss the middle armrest that folds up to make a middle seat. My 03 just has a permanently fixed center console thats WAY too big.

I'm pretty sure nothing interchanges with the new body style trucks...but any '97-'03 will bolt right in.

What color seats do you have? I have the bench seat with the armrest and have been looking for some captian's chairs with a console

Dark gray interior. XLT supercab is the one with the two half doors in the rear, right? It doesn't have 4 full size doors.

Though I do miss the Captains chairs and huge center console my 1989 F-150 XLT Supercab had. But the seats in my 2002 are comfortable and supportive. Plus I can fit one extra person in the truck if need be, and I I've had the occassion to do it multiple times.

These seats just aren't quite up to my girth. Plus, the front bolster starts to get to my legs after about an hour on the road. I guess thats what I get for having half ton buns!
So they did have an arrangement like that for htis body style with a foldup armrest, huh? Anyone know of any pictorial type pictures on the web of the different seating types available for these?

I also have the Gray interior. Where are you located? If you want to consider a trade, just give me a PM.

does not seem like it would be that difficult to put 05 seats in a 03. they might be different models, but the cab is basically the same size.. i have always got the seats i wanted, no matter what vehicle they came from, and then done a little modification to make them fit. sometimes the seat bolt pattern on the frame is the same, sometimes i use the new frame with the new seats and attach to the floor. usually a couple bolts will line up. i have had to drill a couple new holes and put a plate or big washer under the truck with a new bolt. just take care, do it right, paint any bare parts and you will be happy for life.
