Did you know bench seats are swappable between years 1980-1996 in all single cab F150s, F250s, and F350s? (also including 1997 F250) 1995 Ford F150 #diy #fordf150 #obsford
1997 was the last year for those Ford OBS F-series pickups except for the F-150s & Broncos because they were discontinued in 1996. 1992 was the first year for those OBS pickups & Broncos.
I love the look of your truck. I reupholstered my bench seat also. I love the black and white seat I have....as my truck is white....with tan and black interior plastic/vinyl. I changed my carpet to black...and I would love to change more of the interior to black, to go with my new look. I would never change to bucket seats.
I have been able to mount seats all the way up to 2019 well in fact the entire interior and dash for the f250--550 from 1989- 2019 with very little modification to no modification
And you can take the 1970s seat brackets off and swap them with the newer seats if you want a seat with cup holders and a flip down consol in your 70s ford
How about this! If you want a newer ford seat in your 60’s to 70’s ford truck? Just swap the original seat slider brackets from the old seat to the new one and Boom! Bolt it in.
I believe the double cab (4 door) front seat also goes straight into a single cab of the same year range you mentioned but an extended cab seat will not as different floor pan means different seat base. What I’d like to know is if I get an electric seat from another truck to put in my non-electric truck, can I manually adjust the electric seat somehow? Or convert it to the manual runner in mine? Or would I have to wire it into my truck? Reason is, I came across a nice seat in a parts truck not far from me but it’s an electric adjuster seat. 👍🏻
Old Body Style. Technically it’s how Ford techs referred to the 97 F250 to avoid confusion with the newly redesigned 97 F150. Now it broadly applies to 80-96 year of Ford Trucks and broncos.
You said the bolt patterns are the same, so does that mean I could replace my 1991 f150’s center console with a 1992 f150 jump seat? Been asking this for a while and can’t find a definite answer.
The cab size has to be the same. So single cab to single cab. Same with extended. Now, I’ve heard Bronco seats can swap to extended cab and vise versa. I haven’t verified that though.
Broncos swap between other Broncos. I think extended cab seats can swap into a Bronco. I just know the single cab bench seat bolt pattern is different from Broncos and extended cabs.
@@TheMinuteMasters thanks! I only have one junk yard in my area, and they don’t have anything ‘89 ford related sadly haha or Id strip that sucker clean 😂
Honestly Shaun, either here in the comments or the channel Instagram - @theminutemasters. I used to give out my email but recently someone went too far.
@@shaunlocklear3929 So the first thing I like to do when diagnosing issues is, have you checked the codes? This will let us know if there’s any electrical/sensor related issues. Transmissions are a funny bit of hardware. They can’t be too hot or too cold or they won’t run properly. It’s not unusual that until the transmission warms up that it may act sluggish.
@@TheMinuteMasters the only thing you might have to drill about four extra holes and some truck and may not even have to do that because they did come out with bucket seats and some of them I believe it would have been the King cab
So I got this dome light from another OBS. So definitely swappable between trucks. I’m told Ford used this same dome light in a lot of other vehicle they made. I’ve heard Crown Vics have them.
It cost me $312 which was a deal. Another shop quoted $550 without all the straight lines of stitching. If you pay around $700 for a completely reupholstered bench seat, that would be about right. Buying two brand new captain seats for any vehicle would cost $500 each
