Has anyone ever retrofitted a back seat in a 1st gen ext cab?
Bill

 

the 92 i bought awhile back has a back seat. supposedly out of a van?

 

Ford back seats are supposed to work pretty good.

 

Late 80-90`s Ford ext cab bench. It fits ok but no real useable legroom except for little ones. theres no seatbelts either something you`d have to fab up but universal ones would be an easy addition. I put it in because the jump seats are even more useless, I had the seat sitting around(got it for free) and it was a case of either use it or toss it.

 

Did you reuse the same brackets or have to fab some?

 

It is sitting on the jump seat brackets. I cut the ford mounts/hinge off the thing and thru bolted it down

 

ChrisLib, thats a pretty seamless retrofit. Especially how the back sits just below the bump. I dont think Dodge could've done a better job from the factory! I would need belts though as I'm trying to get my truck more family friendly. I got the "you need something that we can all fit it" speech. If you have any more info about what I should be looking for, let me know.

 

It does fit pretty well all things considered. I did have to take a little off the upper corners and about 3/4 of an inch across the top of the backrest of the back portion in order to get it to fit under the trim piece, just some hacksaw work, nothing crazy, just pop the skin/cover off (it just hooks on with nylon retainer thingies, no hog rings) trim it and done.

Now if you could only pull the bottom forward and the back lays down that would be awesome.

 

Reviving an old topic...but any chance you might have fitment measurements for this OBS Ford bench? And how many inches between front of seat to your captians chairs? Thanks.
