Seat Swap



My seats have seen 15 years of abuse, so I've been wanting to swap them for something better for a while. Last week I got a message
from a fellow Ford owner saying that he had the seats from his old F-250 that I could have (thanks again Gerry), so I figured this was
as good a time as any. They are far from perfect, but they are structurally better than mine, so I was happy.





The donor seats.




My old seats.




I didn't take pictures of mounting my base rails to the new seats, but I will tell you that it was not a direct bolt on. I had
to re-drill some mounting holes, so I opted to re-drill the front holes of the mounting bracket that attaches to the bottom
of the seat, as this would move the seat rearward about 1/2". This also meant that the rear hole for the sliding track was
obstructed, so I had to drill holes in bottom of the seat so that bolt could thread in all the way.








My old seats ready for the dumpster.
