Seats and counsel look great! Nice job and thanks for the post.

I have a 97 Ext Lariat 4x4 would love to do the same thing. Did you get the center counsel with the seats?

colton

nope, console was in there factory. it had broken down cloth buckets when i bought it. i was really wanting to get a console with a leather top to match the seats, but its just too hard to find one. the seats weren't even very easy to find.

do the seats only need a power wire and a ground thats it ? do they take straight 12v or is it lower?

colton

yeah, 12v and only two wires(1 power 1 ground).

Here is a shot of the leather Lariat seats I put in my F150. The seats were supposed to be out of an F250. The power seat works great and it is much more comfortable than the old 40/60 split bench seat covered with cloth that I took out.

i really like how those seats look. im really ready to get a new drivers side factory cover for mine. the new seats were only 150 bucks, but that was the downside. the factory leather is in horrible condition on the drivers side. i cant find a replacement for under 250 though. might end up havin to just do it.

That looks sooooo good. They look like F250 seats. I heard they fit in F150s, but never seen pics of the swap. IMO, the F250 seats are easier to find in good condition than F150 seats, so that's the route I am going to go. Did the seats bolt right in, or did it require some modification?

I had to mod by drilling some holes in the brackets. If I hit a brick wall at 80 MPH the seats probably will not hold, so I plan on avoiding that. The old seats had the seat belts on the wall, while these F250 seats have the seat belts in the seats. That made the seats really heavy duty and just plain heavy with a lot of steel in them. The seat belts have a nice snug fit on your shoulder, which is probably safer, but they do tend to rub your neck which is annoying if you are only wearing a tee shirt. So I got the sheepskin seatbelt pad to make them more comfortable.

yeah my front seats will hold, but im thinking the backseat would be out the windshield in a brick wall incident way less than 80 mph. but hey, i never sit in the backseat! just kidding i shouldnt think that way. haha

I found a heated power seat in cloth, it is not the same tan color as my interior but they are very close, I will call the guy to see if He still has it, if so then I will send you some pics guys. Thanks.
