salans7 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Lately I've been thinking about seats for the F350. Most of the bench seats around here are trashed and the ones that aren't are in the $400 range, which is ridiculous in my opinion. My daily driver Ranger has bucket seats from a 2001 Explorer Sport, and I have been wondering if they will fit in my F350. The seats have manual lumbar and plenty of bolstering so they feel like I'm driving on a pillow. Today I decided to try one out, and it seems like they fit pretty well. None of the holes line up, but most of my stock bolt holes are loose anyway, so I will need to do something about seat mounts regardless. I could also look into the aeronose seat pan. When I bought these seats for the Ranger, they were only $40 for the set, so if I can find another set, I will be in good shape. The headrest is also removable, so I can run them without for the low back bucket look. I took some pictures of one in the truck, so let me know what you guys think. I have covers on the seat, here's what mine looks like underneath: The other option I've considered is the rear bench out of a crew cab Super Duty as shown below. However they are still in the hundreds of dollars, although they're usually in good shape which makes it a little more fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old55pete Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Just a thought, I have the front seat from a 98 Dodge in my brick nose. It is the three way seat, high back with a fold down center console. I had to make about the same mods that you are going to make for any other non stock seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And I doubt my captain's chairs look "right" either.) The bucket by itself looks better. But, the SuperDuty rear seat is very interesting. Are they the same width? Is there a way to adapt them to fit the mid 90's pan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely on the fence, hence the seeking opinions. I do agree about the headrest, and it would probably only be used on longer trips. I believe they're similar in dimension, but I don't know about the seat pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETM Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Which one is the most comfortable? Asking the Real Question. I'm sort of looking for an mid 90's bench that has head rests and the center arm rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
