How does the seat fit? Was there any modification needed to install it in your truck? How is headroom clearance? I have a 1988 F-150 STD Cab with a bench seat and am looking for a seat like you are using. Thanks.

Seat fits really well, just had to make a support rod for the one bolt located in the center seat and ad to drill a couple new mounting holes. over all very nice.

Ok, went out to the old girl today, pulled the seats from the garage and drove them to my local upholster for new skins.

Decided on Dark Charcoal leather on the outside panels with a gray suede inserts in the center of the seat. Finish that off with gray cross stitching at the seems. Seats should be ready in a week or so. Ughh hope they turn out ok...took some samples home...

Great looking truck! Your choices for upholstery remind me of the seats the company I work for makes for Cessna airplanes. Here's what the plane looks like, and I'm sure the truck will look even better! Good choice! Please post more pics when your done!

Default carpet and trim installed

Fantastic Sunday afternoon and i finally got my butt out there to work on the interior.

Installed the carpet and trim pieces. Now i wait for the seats to come back from upholsterer....

(The camera makes the headliner look lite gray, the interior is all charcoal)

Are you going to be putting floor mats in to keep the carpet looking good? Interior definitely looks great at this point.

Oh yes for sure with mats.

Thank you! Hope to have seats back by mid week next week.
