- Swapping 40/20/40 bucket seat from an extended cab into a standard cab 95 F-150 was a bit more involved than I anticipated.

A true test of patience and resolve that few could pass without a breakdown. I felt mine coming on just watching this. LOl
I've got a 96 4.9, your valve cover gasket video saved my life. I bought 2 sets of seats from a 2013 f150 and was going to put them in. Got the old bench seat out and put the new bucket seats in with the fold up center console. They fit in perfect but they were just too damn deep. I would've had to ride on the steering wheel pretty.much if I kept them. I got a 95 4 door 4x4 350 w/351 Windsor and thought about using those seats but that truck is my childhood dream truck and I can't bring myself to swap them
You did a great job - it looks great! Those are some awesome cup holders, too. ;)
Maybe Mrs Chicken Hues will ride with me now lol
It looks like a great truck to ride around and drink coffee in. ❤️
Great Video! It helps to connect some dots for me. I recently found out the seat pan for the 92-97 standard cab is a direct fit to a 80-86 Bullnose. I have found a perfect donor and I'm grabbing the headliner to. Thank you!
Thanks for the info! Glad the video helped.
Dang, the bed of your truck is pristine. Nicely done, it looks nice.
sixtyfiveford Thanks, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
I have a 1985 F250 rear wheel drive I found that Bronco seats fit these F250's, the old bronco
crew cab and single cab are the same ext cab is its own im getting ready to swap out my bench in my 89 ext cab to some 70s rv captains chairs but im just leaving the stock seat frame in with the slider and putting the complete rv seat on top so ill have 2 sets of sliders
ill have to make a center console though
Great job on a great truck! Well done sir. 👍
Thanks!
i wish i could get that driver seat the red one that was at the yard LOL
Liked.
That was an awesome job Steve!! You are brilliant!! Can you make my little sun roof into one that runs the whole car roof??? :)
lindyj2011 thanks, your project sounds pretty ambitious lol
Man I fairly recently bought a 1994 Ford f150. Low miles and in very good condition for it's age. And a good deal so couldn't pass on it. And it is an over all nice truck, I saw it had bucket seats so I thought it wouldn't be a problem. Because I'm not crazy about bench seats either. But the problem is that they are the bucket seats with the lumbar support and I really don't like them. You have that lower part digging into your back and I hate it. It's uncomfortable. Some people may like it, but I don't. I'm almost thinking about swapping with these kind of seats because they do looks more comfortable. Didn't think I'd have to but I may. I watched this video to get an idea. And yeah these ones have lumbar support, but they don't look like they stick out as much.
I don't notice the lumbar support at all when the are deflated, I have one side that works and one that doesn't.
@@SteveStoltz yeah that's what it looks like with those types of seats I have a different type of bucket seats. I notice I just don't like the way they over all feel for some reason.
So what did you end up doing for the center seat? Just swap out the bottom bracket ? Seen in your video you took it apart but didn’t show or say how you ended up making it work. I have the same issue right now.
LOL - I see the Sub I sold you!!
gobluejd it took me years to finally get it installed properly lol
Could you just not have cut the existing bucket seat frame and welded the og bench seat frame to the trimmed bucket frame?
I need the center jump seat mount that you couldnt use
Sorry, that's long gone.
Put a ford patch over that material rip.
Will a extended cab floor seat pan *the thing you went back to get* fit onto a regular cab? I want to removed my bench seats on my 97 f250 and already have seats off an extended cab but they did not come with the bottom pan that they mount to
Unfortunately the seat pan assembly from an extended cab wont fit into a standard cab.
Amazing work how do you like the sub box been looking at them for a while now too fit behind my 94 150
Thanks! The sub works pretty well, the most difficult thing is trying to fine tune it from the drivers seat. I think if I were buy one new I would get something that is more of a wedge style box, for the ease of fitting it in place.
@@SteveStoltz ok thanks for the the help right now I have a single 10 in custom built box but want something that fits better so I can put the seat back farther
@@renegadevampire This one certainly fits the bill for compact.
Does anyone know where I can find a new sliding and folding little doors on the jump seat? Can’t find them online anywhere and want to find them new. Unless they’re not being reproduced by any company just gonna have to find some in a junkyard.
Pablo Salazar I’ve had no luck finding anything reproduction. Salvage yard is the best bet, if your lucky enough to find one still intact.
Where can I find some bucket seats for my 1994 Ford F-350? Cause it has a bench seat;/
That's a lot of work just to get the wife to ride with you ... lol.
Yeah, but shes worth it :)
How did you remove the center console cupholder/top?
There are a number of plastic clips around the edge, many of which will likely break when attempting removal due to age. Mine is a little loose because of this, I plan on using a couple of strategically screws to tighten it down, I just haven’t done it yet.
I would kill for a set of 40 20 40 seats for a reg cab
Yeah, decent ones are getting harder to find these days.
@@SteveStoltz i just cant justify the $1300 people are asking for them on ebay. Conversion sucks right now
@@Crabbeshack Wow, I had no idea those are going for that much, seems like if a person were going to spend that much it would be better to buy new custom seats or something.
@@SteveStoltz some people are ridiculous when it comes to OBS parts. I understand the rarity of single cab jump seats, but $1500?
@@Crabbeshack my whole 96 was cheaper than what some people want for those seats, I got a full 40/20/40 for 30 but it's out of an ext cab so its gonna be a pain
What year truck did you get the seat from and was is regular or extended cab
The seats came from an extended cab, that’s what made it such a pain converting everything over to work in a standard cab.
Steve, not sure if you just returned the favor on subbing to my channel or if you somehow found one of my videos. Wanted to say thanks though, your ECM video helped me get my ‘93 lightning started after buying it from the previous owner who let it sit DOA for a long time (minimal 10+ months). They didn’t know what was wrong and gave up. Also I used you upper/lower/exhaust manifold video as a helpful guide along with my chilton manual on my current ‘92 blown head gasket repair series. I really enjoy your OBS content, thanks again for posting some great content.
Your welcome. I'm glad my videos helped you out, especially with the lightning. I hope you put some more videos up of that one. I saw that you subscribed and noticed your OBS videos, so I returned the favor.
Steve Stoltz more to come on the 93 for sure. Hoping around April I can start it back up and get some major work done...that’s the plan anyway 😂
Too technical eff this video
I agree, too technical for you!
