Frogger2662 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I have an 84 single cab. The previous owner installed 40/20/40 seats from a 94 model. I have a chance to get a set of buckets from a 94 extended cab. I have read the seat interchangability section. I am still not sure if these seats will work. Any ideas?

Gary Lewis Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 They will not work. But, they can be made to work - with a lot of work. Here are some links to what I did: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1123180-dads-truck-build-277.html#post13639026 https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1123180-dads-truck-build-287.html#post13698239 https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1123180-dads-truck-build-281.html#post13678239 https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1123180-dads-truck-build-275.html#post13635258 https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1123180-dads-truck-build-297.html#post13769250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogger2662 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Thanks. Looks like more work than i want to take on. The seats i have need to be recovered. They are the type with the built in headrest. Going to start looking to see what is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogger2662 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Are there any other bucket seats from another vehicle that will bolt up to the 40/20/40 frame without doing as much work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86 12 Brutus Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Are there any other bucket seats from another vehicle that will bolt up to the 40/20/40 frame without doing as much work? Unfortunately, buckets wont just bolt up to a single cab. but if you are interested in either a seat cover or upholstery, which ever your budget will allow, there are many options on the market to get what you need. I've done much reasearch into upholstery. I have 2 different seats and finally decided to go with the one in my parts truck. If you can put a pic of your seat that you have now. i can give you some help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machspeed Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I'd be very interested to see what you finally come up with. I have read that seats from a 2015 and up will almost bolt right in, though I don't recall whether it was buckets or another 40/20/40 config. I read this at FTE and then PM'd the poster and he confirmed again. Let us all know what you find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, you posted the picture below on FTE under "Dad's Truck Build" and referred to it as Jerry's truck. I'm very interested in his seats. Who is Jerry at FTE? Lastly, did or do you own a blue 69 Super BEE? Thought I saw a picture of it in your build thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Jerry Van Horn, aka Ozark1 on FTE: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/member.php?u=370207"= And yes, I own a '69 Bee. Bought one new in April of '69, but sold it in the 70's. Bought another many years ago to restore, and haven't. No front end under it and it needs a lot of work. Maybe some day, but the days are running out.......

You got at least another decade in you, need to get on that SuperBee! Thanks, Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got at least another decade in you, need to get on that SuperBee! Thanks, Gary. It is blue. But was originally F3 green. May wind up as F8 green, which our daily driver Bee was when we got married. As for the 10 years, I'll hold you to that. But I gotta get Big Blue on the road, and he still has a number of mods coming. Then there's Dad's truck. So the Bee may be a turn-key job.
