after market truck seats?

I have read where others, who are happy with the stock seats, but had worn them out, had an upholstery shop fix them. While they were in there they built up some of the padding under the seat to actually make it better in the weak areas. You might consider this and discuss with an upholstery shop before you get into swapping seats.

I got a pair of leather seats out of a Lincoln Continental. Very nice.

The problem lies in the seat belt anchors. Quads have the seat belts integral to the front seats, but I am unsure if reg cabs do or do not.

A good upholsterer can do wonders with the stock seat frames.

I would look into that. My seat had a big tear on the drivers side, and the padding was in bad shape. For about $250, which included replacing the headliner, he rebuilt the padding on the drivers side, and took the fabric apart, replacing a whole panel in the pattern of the seat. It not only cost a whole lot less, it is like a new seat. Like it was said, a good upholstery shop can do wonders. I haven't explored it, but I would imagine that you can get the seat rebuilt for less than a new one. Maybe not less than donor seats out of another vehicle, but your seat already fits and works.

I just put in a set of F350 2010 bench seats into my 95, had to use the old seat rallies and a little bit of welding, but it looks stock and fits like a glove. the F350 bench seats are very well make and are cheep to find. I payed $200 for a 2010 ford bench seat with cup holder. the Dodge seats fall apart pretty fast well my 1995 seats did

I'd like to see some pics of that, and the mounting. Are they power? If so, was wiring them difficult?
I have 99 seats in my 96 now, but I'm always keeping my eye out.

Hi Chris,

I'll take pictures tonight and post tomorrow, they were power. But I'm the only one who drives the truck so I don't care..... the Dodge seats are 60" end top end and so are the Ford F350......
