You can get the factory base that came in crew cabs and regular cabs and all three pieces bolt to it, but they are hard to find, but it will bolt to factory holes. I used super cab seats with jump seat in the middle. The iner two bolts for driver and pasenger seats are also the bolts for the jump seat, this saves some alignment issues. The inner bolts needed no shims if I reacall corectly. I placed the center seat in and measured to center it between the door panels. then driiled holes bolted it and inner bolts on driver and passenger seat. Then I shimed outer 4 bolts with 1/2 inch fender washers, and it didn't take much shim. I used all 1/2 inch bolts, and thick fender washers underneath to keep from pulling thru floor. The super cab tracks i used were the ones that have the extra lever on bolth seats to slide seat foward for entry, not the tilt up type I had in my 87 super cab. I,m not sure of the years they came out of. The exta slide feature actually is handy to clean under seats and to put large items in the rear of the cab. I'll get some pictures tomorrow if you want. I see you are from Mitchell I have a friend, Fay, that lives in Chamberlin, maybe you know him?

I should add the seat belts bolted to original holes. If you can get seat belts from the doner truck. The hard plastic is longer and holds the buckle were you need it so it doesn't fall under the seat.

My truck has some centurion conversion seats in it(not for long). It is two captains and the center console seat. They mount in what I would assume to be the factory bench locations.

that's a pretty clean interior.
I wish I had normal door panels and not the conversion modified ones. Where the cloth is on the door panels, mine has wood inserts

Here's the conversion I did on my extended cab.

Same basic setup like catbird. Be warned, the floor will not be drilled or re-enforced enough to properly mount separate captains or buckets. This is why I had to make a custom frame to tie both seats together. More work, but I was able to get a strong install without having to add new holes in the floor.

The photo I attached previously is what I want, attached is what the truck looked like when I bought it. Currently it's an empty hole. I bought 2005
grey buckets and all of the grey plastic trim out of a 95 (including the rear grey seat). New grey carpet and new grey headliner. Grey dash will
come from the 89. This will be next on the list after rear suspension and fuel tanks are completed.

The photo you just attached are the seats I'm desperate to find...but they're pretty rare. Mine are medium height seats, where as those are the true high-back velour captains chairs. The ones I have are too short to rest your head against while driving. They still offer some protection from whiplash as I found out though.

I'm finally got to take the pictures. I never used photobucket before so I hope this works.

Exactly what I want to do, quick question Ironworker....
How tall are you and can you sit the seats up totally straight without your head hitting the ceiling? Or perhaps a better question is what's the distance from where you sit in the the seat to the ceiling? I'm 6'2" so want to be sure there's plenty of room.
Thanks,
Matt

04 Ford escape seats.
don't just drill for seat mounts,
that's a great way to crack your floor pan

thanks, but I don't like the escape seats, needs to be the ones from a F250 / F350. Really hoping 1999-2007, but could handle uh 93-97?
