Not necessarily. The forward tilt is a feature of the frame and the frame can be fit to other seats, although modifications may be necessary. I fit an '08 SuperDuty bench in my '73 F250 and used the oem brackets to maintain the same floor mounts and position. Depends on how badly you want it and what you're willing to do to make it happen... most times.

 

Factory seats with Roadwire Leather replacement upholstery. Also got some seat heater inserts under the leather!

 

Nothing beats the look of the factory seats

 

Hello,

has anyone every swapped the rear bench seat for a third row Chevrolet Tahoe seat. I came across the swap on Craigslist. I emailed the owner but did not get a response. The ad states that the seat still slips down and fold forward. It looked insanely clean and also had the child seat anchors which is a huge draw for me.

 

I beleive that is a documented modification around here somewhere. The integrated seatbelts were the big bonus, which allows for easier topper removal on our later models, where the seat belt is connected to the topper. I'm sure you can find it if you search around a bit. Not sure how much or well it's documented though.

 

Just put a replacement seat bottom cover on my split and blown out passenger seat. I used US Auto SeatCover out of Houston, TX. They are on eBay, it cost me $133 for just the fake leather seat bottom cover. Didn’t have real high hopes but they are really close in color and the construction with the perforated leather is exact. Looks great, I’m really happy.

 

Installed a set of Ford Explorer 2door sport seats and a 1995 F-150 Jumpseat in my 1994 Bronco. Had to use the Bronco seat brackets so I could use the power driver seat motor, But I do have power lumber in them.

 

Ok, those are some nice seat xovers. Simple and looks easy to clean. Where did you get them from?

 

I've been going back and forth on putting buckets in my 81 because I wanted head rests and couldn't find a split bench with headrests. Finally found one from a 97 F250 on Craigslist and verified the mount would bolt in, so picked it up. The bench was worn on the driver's side, so I thought I'd see if the backs would fit the 81 bench. They did, so I thought I'd document it here.

97 spit backs on 81 bench.

 

Installed the front buckets from a 92-96 OBS supercab. Took some cutting and welding but didnt require any extra material. Basically just cut all the feet off, set the seat bracket in the truck, figured out how tall each foot needed to be, cut it, test fit and tacked it, the tool it in the garage for finish welding and mounting to the seat. Looks decent and the seat is no longer too tall.

 

Thank you

 

Scored some pretty darn good new seats from a Honda Odyssey. Leather 6 way power on the drivers side. I will need to get a new bracket fabricated. Thinking of bringing it straight across the entire front cab and mounting the center console a bit higher as well. The 2X4 fit up is the perfect height. The wiring seems to power it just fine but I will probably go up a size or 2 on the wire just to make sure, plus add an in line fuse to each leg under the seat for extra protection.

 

The passenger seat is still the Bestop seat that came with it. They were way too low for me. These new ones are way more comfortable and a pretty close match to what should have been there.

 

I have heard that just about any bucket seat setup fits in that there is a large flat floor to bolt to
If you wanted a bench, I suppose the overall length of the bench would be important

 

Has anybody put heated and maybe cooled seats in their bronco? If so, what vehicle?

 

Dirthead dave on youtube just put heated PRP bucket seats in a brick nose f350. Didnt really show how he wired it though. Cooled seats might be a bit more intensive.

 

Cool, old thread! Just went through the whole thing and now I'm thinking I'm going to use the seats from my 94 Lincoln MK VIII... the driver's bottom needs recovered and they're grey, but super comfy, power everything, and fold forward because it's a 2 door.... photos will be added at a later date.
