Seat help

[david85]

We recently acquired a 2005 f450 (gasp: 6.0L) and I have to admit the seats in there are nice. Only problem is, the seats I have (89 ish) are already configured for tilt/slide forward in one go, making entry end exit fairly easy from the back. Maybe I could modify the frames to accept the older reclining mechanism, but it would take some fiddling.

This is why I just used the track. It’s not quite as handy but it works. It’s now two levers instead of one.

Hopefully I’ll get to do the door-add mod in the not too distant future.

Welcome.

If you have a crew cab, then the options are better. Just look for any crewcab SD pickups because that swap has been done before.

What's that? Sounds interesting...
