Technical Swapping seats

Has anyone ever installed the front bench seat out of an m body Chrysler Fifth Accent into a standard cab f100? Would it even fit, and what mods would I be looking at?

Uh, a tape measure is your best friend in that situation

Corinthian leather??

Measure the width, if it's close, figure out a riser so it will sit high enough in the truck. Can't help ya with the electric etc.

 

Would not be a good fit in my 53 F100. Not sure what you are working on.

 

Back in the day real hot rod guys took a tape measure to the junk yard, jotted down the particulars and then went home to scoped out what it would take to do the fit.

As a rite of acceptance you must do the same grasshopper.

 

here ya go.....

 

*Only available in the Cordoba.

 

The other thing is the design of the seat rails. F100 floor is basically flat, a mid '60s Lincoln Continental 6 way power seat fit in mine nicely.
Went low enough to 'play the role', too...if ya get-what-I-mean... Young wife Joey was my girl friend then...she'd sit in the middle, right next.
Now it's got Mitsubishi gray leather buckets...and she's still 'streamlined'...Building a bench for my Effie as we speak!
Buckets are soooo...Goyish..

 

Often, replacement seats do not feel as "right" as the originals as far as orientation to the steering wheel, etc. I always tried to use stock seats.

 

I've got my measurements, but the m body cars are scarce here. Not sure about the width. I'm trying to get some ideas before I buy online. I'm wanting to install it in a 64 f100. I have buckets now, but want to go bench. Thinking cushy lol
