seats

What kind of problems will I get into by replacing the front captian seats and center console in my 1990 F150 Lairet with front seats from a 05 F150 with center jumpseat console and built in seat belts?

Not sure if they'll fit off hand. I'd imagine you'd need to make new mounts to bolt them in, and since the seat belts are integrated, you'll need to have some nice beefy supports.

Thanks, if I physically had the 05 seats I could pull measurements and see if I had to make adjustments and if it would be worth while. I'll try to get the deminsions i need and will let you know the out come.

One of my main concerns, as said above, would be fit. Especially with the cab size differences. It would be possible maybe...I recently saw in Truckin' magazine not to long ago a guy put 2 La-Z-Boys in a Dodge.

Most Ford seats can be customized to fit if you include all of the mounts from the "parts" vehicle. I have a 89 F150 and I know for a fact that the seats in there when I bought it are NOT the same seats that came in the truck, I think that they are VAN seats. I have four seatbelts in the front now, but only two of them work. I still have the original seatbelts. Even the rear seat has been changed out. I am looking for some captains to put in there now.
