Is the second row seat an Excursion second row seat?

 

[IDIoit]

supposedly it came out of a 04 F350.
but it does have the driverside fold down.
no provisions for it to flip all the way forward.
but it does have retractable feet steps

 

[snicklas]

So it doesn't slide forward, and the bottom cushions don't flip forward?

I can take some pictures later..... the Excursion seat is a unique seat...... but the way it moves, it makes it easy to clean up after the kiddos.........

Maybe you have already answered this and I missed it.....
Why didn't you cut the frame in the middle. All this fab work on the rear seems hard???

 

[IDIoit]

its really a matter of personal opinion.
if I would have done it in the middle of the frame,
I would have had to do 2 cuts to weld up to complete the frame
1) I didn't know the wheel base until I had everything mocked up.
2) I only had 1 cut to reinforce.
this work isn't hard.
people that have done it both ways say its pretty much the same amount of work.

another plus is that I didn't have to take the cab off again to final weld it.

now what I wanna know is where is this junk yard? over here in Bakersfield, we've got alota of junk yards, but you hardly ever find anything worth taking, mostly all civics and minivans.

Looks badass so far by the way impressed how quickly your coming along with it, keep it up buddy

 

[IDIoit]

this is a local yard, in 94561. all the rest of the yards round here suck.
but ive pretty much picked this yard clean minus 1 6.9 w/o a IP
because 88 Is a way better number than 69 lol

hopefully after my 87 is done I will get to the engine swap on this.

what I thought was a headgasket, ended up being a cracked to hell piston...
damn thing rocks back n fourth, I expect to see a skirt in the oil pan when it comes off
