Default Standard Cab?

Hi Guys and Gals,

I've been looking at f150's for my first "Real" car (My current daily is an '06 Chrysler Sebring, she's nice, but lived a hard life, and is not the most reliable nowadays), so to get me through college, a nice F150. I've been mostly looking at Standard Cabs (Cheapest and most abundant, at least in my area) and was wondering, as I haven't seen a clear picture.
Can you cram 3 people in a standard cab f150? Specifically, a '95 manual? (Also the most abundant in my area) I only see 2 seat belt clips, and if I can't, is there an aftermarket seat that can (Legally). I sometimes see the seats with the cupholder built in to the arm rest, with no clips or belts for the middle seat, or I see the seats with the cupholder/ armrest combo that doesn't have a clip or belt. OR I see a clip, but no belt

My 94 manual had a seat belt in the middle. I took it out because it doesn't seem possible for a normal sized human to sit there with the shifter - their legs would have to be draped over on the passenger sides legs.

Even with an automatic it would be hard to imagine anyone over 5 feet tall sitting in the middle.

You'd want to be real friendly with the person in the middle, especially in a manual shift. You can get 3 people easy enough, but you wouldn't want to do it all the time.
And the back seat in an extended cab is more for kids than adults.

That's the thing, It was only meant to be for emergency use once in a while, so space is not really a problem, as long as it has the belts to do so, as it will only be used about once every couple of months. Just wanted to be sure as I am still looking for one to buy. (If anyone sees an F150/250 for under 1500 that is pre- '97, stick, and in PA/NJ, send me a PM)

Anyway, they all have middle seat belts unless someone took them out. You'll just have to look for them.
