I have a 92 ext. cab. I am in desperate need of bucket seats. My bench seat is awful, talk about back pain! Where is a good place to look. I live in the middle of nowhere, so no junkyards, and craigslist never seems to have them. Any ideas?

I bought a set thru EBAY. Look for sellers large enough to offer "free" shipping.

If you wanted to make a trip to Portland there's someone parting a '93 F150. Ad says front bench, but likely is the split bench, kinda like buckets compared to the flat bench like I got in my crew. Plus they're only asking $75. CL, Portland post id: 6507890188

I bought a set of 01 escape seats for 60 bucks for the pair, and made my own bases.
until I found a complete 96F350 that I stole the interior out of

I have an extended cab and found seats out of a 2014 F-150 extended cab for my truck (with the half door that opens) off craigslist. The F-150 seats have seat belts built into the seat and I like that (Dodge and Chevy trucks also have these seats). Just note, if you get seats like this you have to reinforce where the seat bolts in (I used 1/4 plate like you would with a interior roll cage) because the entire seat is the restraint. You don't want it ripping bolts out of the sheet metal in an accident. I like it because now anyone can get into the back seat without also having to trip over the belt on the pillar. Plus new seat belts. Cosmetically, I plugged the hole for the should strap in the plastic with a Ace Hardware hole plug (I painted it with color matched interior paint). If I ever switch seats, just pop the plug out.

Just make sure that whatever seats you buy, they still tilt forward for access to the rear. Something that came out of a 4-door donor likely only reclines.
