The buckets seats are from my old red Flareside.. pieces of it lives on.. Just like the rear bumper is on my truck...

Cool. Bucket seats are the shit

 

[TexasRebel]

I want to put buckets in mine.

 

[5.0Flareside]

And this ain't happening.. The seats came out of a supercab and they're totally different than reg cab.. This sucks...

The frames?

 

[5.0Flareside]

Yeah but it's complicated on how it works..

I've thought bout it

 

[nobodyspecial]

Why can't you fabricate mounts for these? what is the complicated part? What is interfering?

Drill holes and use nuts and bolts. I did for the bronk buckets into my F350

 

[RustyCJ]

Are you referring two the seats having two sets of sliders?

 

[5.0Flareside]

The floor pans are different super cab to reg cab.. So I have to either fab up new mounts, or get the correct setup for a reg cab..

Just go to your local junkyard and find a set of single cab bucket seat mounts/tracks.

Wow. That sucks. Last time I went to my local JY, they were cleaning up there yard to bring in some dirt and rocks to fill in all of their huge ruts and holes. They had a whole row of older (91 and back) Ford trucks sitting in a line waiting to be crushed to make room. A couple of them were still in pretty good shape with loads of usable parts still on them. Made me pretty upset.

This is what I did. My buckets are out of a 96 extended cab.

He wasn`t referring to a lack of trucks, just a lack of factory regular cab trucks with buckets. The only ones I`ve seen are Lightnings.

I personally like the extra height. I`m 5'11", and always liked sitting tall in my trucks. With the seat slid ahead just enough to recline the back to where I like it, everything feels comfy and is in reach just the way I like it. I`ve got a buddy who is about 6'5" and said the passenger seat was good when we took an hour drive one way to check out me tractor.
