Would a Ford Seat work ?
I have been looking for a 60/40 split from a 98 chevy for a while like 1 year. I have had no luck. So I was wondering if a seat froma ford would fit ? has anyone ever done it ? I am working for a snow removal company and one of there ford trucks has a seat with head rest and it's really comfy. I was just thinking. I also was at a yard and there was a seat in a Dodge it had a flip down console looked pretty neat too.
Any Ideas ?

I've heard of several people using the dodge seats,like dinnut said you could probably pretty much anything work as long as it's wide enough

Some one mentioned using one out of the 97 up year F150. I think we are pretty open to just about any full size vehicle bench seat. Just the height of the mounts is where most of them seem to differ.

any time ive stuck a different seat in one of my trucks, ive used the seat tracks from the truck im sticking the seats in even if i have to fabricate some kind of bracket to weld onto the seat itself it usually works out easier

I used to run some 60 40s out of like a 94 then i upgraded to dual buckets also out of a 94 if you get seats out of a 88-94 for sure you can use there brackets im not sure about 95-00 i havent really looked at them brackets i would assume there the same..
I put a 98 seat in an 85 using the 85 sliders i just welded plates onto the front and back of the bracket since the newer seat mounting holes were slightly farther out Seats arent the hardest thing to mount just gotta have some how to. Of Course welder and cuttin torch helps |

Got a Ford in mine, the back mounts are flat and the front is on a angle. Bolt it in where you need to and they are a good seat.

You can put whatever you want in it just have to make the brackets for them, I threw in a set of Lincoln MarkVII seats in my 72, seats had more wires than the truck did
