Have you thought of doing it yourself? I did mine and it was in rough shape, broken springs, foam eroded away, cover in shreds. I bought a new cover from 1A Auto and patched the foam with pieces of other foam and weather stripping adhesive. Check my gallery, it doesn't look too bad, although I haven't driven it yet.

if your not set on a stock bench, you might consider going with a newer bench. my 73 has a 90's bench. use the older rails and it bolts right in.

That is what i'm looking for my 79 F-150 4x4. What year and model did the seat come out of? Great looking seat.

We used a similar seat.
Any F series seat up to 96 will work. Just have to use your original sliders. They bolt up to the newer frame and will permit you to use your existing bolt holes in the floor.

If you have it re-upholstered, have some cupholders installed in the arm rest.

dads79: that is beautiful! same style as mine but much nicer!

and 75350 makes a good point about the cupholders, i think i saw a tech article once on installing them yourself, didn't look to hard to do yourself even if you didn't have to have the seat re-upholstered.

I wish I could take credit for the seat,but the last owner had the stock bench redone like that. I like the way the black breaks up the green inside the truck.The door panels also black,and since the green dash pad is cracked I might buy a new black one. Shane's ,I don't have a dash pad,but if I keep the green/black theme I do have a nice set of green XLT door panels with the wood grain I might sell.
