Seat options. Ford f150 seat? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Nitis · 04-29-2014, 11:15 PM

Would it be too much of a sin to attempt this?

I used a different truck than usual at work the other day and it's a 2012 f150. It has a seat that reminds me of the buddy bucket. Two bucket style seats with a center seat that is seperate that the back folds down for an armrest but when that is up the seat lifts up to reveal storage.

I'm thinking worst case scenario a guy could build a frame for it to make it work.

Ideally I want a 95-98 60/40 but they are hard to get and don't come cheap

I fight with chevy against Ford monkeys constantly at work. I am a fan of both. Go for it.

General motors has build some amazing things. Ford has done the same.

That's a good deal but I want an armrest. Those seats do fit nicely though

I used an old dodge ram bench

I'd like some more information on that ram seat you're using. How is it on width and depth? How did you mount it? As for the OP, nothing wrong with whatever bench seat your backside prefers. Ford/Chevy/Dodge arguments are immature.

Ya who cares if it's a ford part. Look how many guys swap in a 9" rear. I personally think if it works is good quality and looks good why not.

I'd do it if you can find one. The f*rd seat I'd love to find cheap(Impossible) is the F150 Harley edition seats. It fits the theme of my truck perfectly, and I really want black leather in my truck. I plan on doing my dash pad and maybe door panels in black leather as well.
Good luck.
Oh by the way, I'm currently running a 2001 Ram 60/40 with the arm rest with built in storage. A lot like Ivanuf2's but gray cloth. The problem with these seats IMHO is the back is too thick, creating a fairly tight fit. Still better than the original bench.

I had the king ranch set (I believe) in mine for a while. they were comphy but kindof big. They were buckets with the center flip down seat arm rest combo. Still have them...but I installed some from a trailblazer they are a little thinner so they and I seem to fit a little better.

I have a 13 RAM RCSB, has to be one of the most comfortable seats I have ever had in a truck. Very nice on long rides. I could see pulling the head rests off and re-covering in leather / suede or something for a C10, absolutely.
