Bucket Seats?

note to self "put computer in your bedroom where your wife can't see what yer lookin at" lol a fellow in edmonton contacted me on kijji about a super cab he was parting out and emailed me some pics and lo&behold who walks in as im looking at these pics? you guessed it now im going to pick up a pair of [80s ?] eddie bower high back captions chairs with the center console for my sc today the thing i like about them is this fellow built a custom base that both chairs/console sit on that uses the original bench bolt holes in the floor to mount them says its about a 15min job to change over to the bench seat again he also says he has a pair of [mid 2000s?] leather all power buckets from a lariat superduty as well that im going to look at for my reg cab dont know if any of you guys have problems with your wife complaining about the stock bench seat being "unconfortable" but i get miles of bitchin from my wife and this looks like it might work to save peace in the family lol will throw some pics in my gallery when i get them home regurds joe

I like my bench seat for the same reasons as other people have mentioned LOL. If you want buckets you can probably make almost anything fit if you take your time. Are you trying to spice up the interior so no one notices the extra inches in the bed Tex? :rofl: J/K

I have one of those aftermarket seats in my 86, it is nice to have the option to switch from bucket to bench. I love the center console, but it is pretty easy to need that center seat back in a standard cab... I got mine used out of a Dodge truck though.

I have done plenty of installs before, and it really isn't that tough. The Bronco seats will sit on the floor pan, you just have to add a few holes to the floor. The good thing is that they line up on existing floor braces.

On pricing?
Well its not cheap i know that much.
What kind of bumper you looking for?
See if you can find a pic of something similar to what you want and post it up and i can give a very rough estimate on how much the steel might run you.
 
Ya know I'm not sure and the best thing I got to show is an old pic of my other Supercab and it's a side view:

In either case, it'd be nice to have a Ranchhand style bumper w/o the pricetag but I'm being realistic lol

Ranch hands are WAY over priced....
Is that just a grill guard?
only thing is i dont have a tubing bender so it would have to be pretty straight, or i make it angled but nothing nicely radius ed like that pic.

Honestly man I dont care either way. I just want it to look good with the lines on ol' Blue...

The bumper on Goldie there was basically the top of a Ranchhand-style guard cut off the deck of the Ranchhand-style bumper and then tack welded to a piece of angle iron I tack welded to a couple pieces bolted to my frame lol.

Yeah I think I hit a dragonfly with it once and it nearly caved in on my grille :rofl:

ah its all good on the hi-jack, i will try and sketch up both....
To be honest they will likely be loosely based on ranch hand bumpers...
If you want find some pics of bumpers and grill guards post them up and tell me what kind of stuff you like with each.
