Mikes1stF150

My "new to me" 05 F150 had the center jump seat with the fold down arm rest. This is my DD & at most my wife would ride with me, so I have no need for the third seat. Here is how I did it.
Tools needed,
3/8" drive rachet,
3/8" drive different length extensions,
15mm deep socket (if using the studs & nuts)
3/8" drive T50 torx socket
I started with this,


What I did was using both hands pulled up on the jump seat bottom from the front & it pulled off the frame.

Now you have very easy access to the torx screws holding the jump seat frame in. Remove the 4 T50 torx screws & remove the frame. The 2 front bolts are shorter then the 2 in the rear.

Here is what it looks like with the jump seat removed.

They did not give me the studs from the floor when I purchased the console from a wrecking yard, only the 4 nuts. I reused the bolts from the jump seat. Next just position the 4 holes in the bottom of the console over the 4 holes in the floor from the jump seat & put in the torx screws snug so as not to crack the bottom of the console. Here is what it looks like installed.

I had to take my console apart because I wanted to repaint it so it would look new, so while I had it apart I cut a piece of 1/4" plywood & made a floor for mine because I did not want it so deep. I did have to drill 4 holes with a hole saw in the plywod so I could get the socket & extension in to install the bolts. I am going to get some rubber body plugs to fill the holes so nothing can fall in there.

Now just put in the console what you want to store there & enjoy your work. It took me about 1 1/2 hours between removing the jump seat, running to the basement for tools, & installing the console.
