Thread: '70 F100 question

Tweet

You can use any seat from a Ford truck up to 96 as long as you use the 70 seat tracks and it will bolt in,they might be a little wider and will be closer to the doors. A real nice seat is the 87 to 91 XLT seat with the center armrest but like what was said above it wont match the rest of the interior.

HAH! Thanks, Jeff! I guess that's really what I needed to find out. I'll go scout out some Fords. The fact that they would be a pretty direct bolt-in outweighs whether or not they are perfectly matched to the interior. I'll face that disgraceful situation later.

I appreciate your follow up, FFR. I won't pursue that one.

Dave, I made a reasonably successful attempt at rebuilding the seats in a '70 Dodge crew cab I owned. It looked presentable enough but I learned that just new sponge and upholstery won't compensate for pooped-out springs. Outside of that the only experience I've had was installing a set of Volvo buckets in a Dodge panel. They were really great seats and a snap to put in.

You guys are a great help.
