Default The Holy Seat thread.

With the recent impulse with more threads and questions about seats. So I thought I would make a thread that answers all the questions regarding seats.
I will get pictures up this weekend when I take the interior apart to redo my stereo setup.

So you have a bench and you want buckets, but dont know what will fit. Well here are your options.
97-03/04 heritage F150/Expedition/Navigator
04-06 F150 (Not verified for 07+)
04-06 Expedition/navigator

Now depending on what seat you choose determines what you have to do to make them work. I will outline based off year model of what i have found.
97-99: direct bolt in just remember where the spacer went.
00-03: might require a connector change if you had power seats.
04-06 F150/Expo/Navigator: Will require having the chassis pigtail to provide power to the seats. Also requires a 5/16" spacer under each outer rear mounting point to prevent binding in the power tracks.

Things needed to be done regardless of seat choice:

You will need to tap out the welded nut plates in the floor. The mounting points are in the floor. You will also have to cut a hole in the carpet to allow the bolt to pass thru.

Pictures will come this weekend and i will rearrange the floor.

Who is ready to try this write-up? I have a set of good condition gray cloth buckets and console out of a 1998 f150 that I would love to trade with someone with the gray cloth 60/40 split bench. I'm located in northern Colorado if anyone is interested.

Sorry, hoping the split bench will match my back seat and give easy access to the back or my supercab.

No worries it'll be a little while before I swap. The baby seat takes up the middle haha so a center console would be a no no for the wife!
