I know full sized Bronco seats will fit a 94 F150, but my wrecking yards are very limited, and almost no one has full size bronco's. Can I pull buckets from any Ford Van's or Cars and put them in my truck, without major mods?

 

Not too sure how far north ya are in BC but if you were willing to come down to The Pull-A-Part in Lynnwood they have several broncos and a large selection of fords there. www.pullapartwa.com actually, they've just opened a new location in Arlington. Good luck with your seats.

I found out in Feb of last year, that a Canadian Pardon, does NOT seal your criminal history from the US Border service. I got busted for 3 joints when I was 18, that was 22 years ago, and it was brought to my attention last Feb when I went to go down and buy a boat in Seattle...

I'm really going to miss the Arlington EAA fly-ins, 07 was the first year I have missed in 10. To date, I have spent $1500. USD to try and get a US Waiver, they have denied my application over trivial cr@p every time. Last time, it was because the date was illegible. It is nothing more than a money game

 

That's pretty ****ty man. I'm going to be there this weekend for parts. I can look for you but it's kind of a first come first served type deal. You could always buy a donor vehicle too(try craigslist.org).

 

Wow Pullapart is sure expensive... I'll keep trying Pickapart.ca Pickapart is same idea as pullapart, but the prices are usually about 1/2 what other wreckers charge..

any peticular seats you lookin for

 

Just something better than the bench seat, it is super uncomfortable. I would like a half descent set of buckets. I was thinking maybe from a E150 or a Bronco, but Bronco's are far & few in BC at the local wreckers.

I'm just wanting info as to what would fit without doing a hell of alot of modifications. I dont have access to a shop anymore, so I'm limited at what I can do.

 

u can use almost any thing u lik ejust drill new joles and reinforce with strong washers

 

Ok thanks. I wasnt sure if it was that easy or not.

 

I've been running my 87' with some buckets out of a Dodge Neon. While they work and are fairly comfy, it wasn't all that simple or ideal.

As previously stated, I drilled new holes and used big fender washers and nylocks.

Issues I ran into were:

1) I couldn't bolt all 4 corners on the passenger seat due to some heat shield or skid plate underneath that was in the way, but since I rarely have passengers I simply didn't bother to bolt down the left side.The seat can tip around left turns when somebody is in it, though.

2) I never got the driver seat perfectly centered on the steering wheel which I don't even notice anymore.

3) The seats are taller than stock which gives me a better perch for visibility and head room isn't an issue but leg room between the wheel and the front of the seat, is. Especially when you consider the distance to the gas pedal. I have a tilt wheel and I'm 5'10" w/long legs so it works out for me.

4) There is almost no room for adjustment, either sliding backward and forward or tilting. Luckily I fit with it pushed all the way back.

Not to say you'll run into these specific problems but a few things to think about before slapping any old seat in there. Measure everything, no matter how insignificant it seems. While I've been happy with the way my seats are, I'm considering replacing them with something made to fit.

 

Thanks Lumpy87, I'm going to stick with pulling my seats out of a Ford, I found an 1995 E150 Van at a wrecker with seats in good shape.

 

You can put anything you want in it. Will just have to make bases for them. I like to get truck/bronco bases (easy for me to find as every one I look at has trashed seats in it) As a starting point Just because easy and slide forward enough . But explorers ,cars ETC are fair game .

 

I don't think the van seats will bolt right in.

 

ok my next question is what vehicles cam with realy nice stock buckets

 

I really loved the buckets in my '88 VW Fox. Probably the only part of the car that was any good. I have no idea how they would sit in a pickup, though.
