BullnoseHunter02 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Hey guys, so i know the truck i find will probibly have a bench seat. Im wondering if it's harder to drive with one, or, if it can be adjusted, im around 6 foot, so i dont think reaching the pedals is an issue, im just wondering how long it will take to adjust to a bench seat, and if its harder to drive with one. Thanks for all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LARIAT 85 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Driving with a bench seat is great! It's like sitting on a sofa. My wife and son love it. And yes, a bench seat can be adjusted forward and back just like any other single seat. Base model trucks came with a very plain, vinyl covered seat, while "Lariat" models came with much more comfortable and plush seats. Later 1987 - 1996 Ford bench seats will swap to a Bullnose truck without any modifications. I put a 1987 - 1991 style bench seat in Lucille because I think it is the most comfortable, and it has a convenient flip-down armrest. Some of the later 1992 - 1996 style seats even have power lumbar support. I never understood why some people replace their bench seat with a set of captains chairs in a single cab pickup truck.

Did these trucks ever have bucket seat options on a standard cab? I knew they were avaible on crew and supers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
