Ext Cab
What years of Ford F-150 Seats will fit my 1994 F-150 Ext cab with bucket seats?

Looking for bucket seats for my 1994. Don’t know what years I need to be looking at that will fit. Any help with this would be great.

I just did a retro fit of Windstar seats into my Ranger. A bit of modifications were needed because of the difference of mounting locations. But if you are switching in buckets from a bench then you will need the tracks out of a F-150 of the same style with the buckets, and make sure its out of another F-150 with the same cab style (standard cab, get the brackets out of a standard cab, ect…). Bolt thoes tracks to the new seats and you may have to tapp the holes in the seats, if needed. If it is a bench seat, you may have to drill some holes in your floor (I had to do this) and then get the new tracks set up and bolt the seats down with a 1 1/2″ washer on both sides (at minimum, larger the better anchor). If you can hold off on doing this for a few weeks, I’m going to be posting some photos on how everything in my cab is set up at the end of the month on www.therangerstation.com, its about ford ranger/bronco II/explorer’s but they basic layour should be the same, there is quite a bit of information on this there, and you may have to change some of the things around, but the overall idea will be the same.

1)Get seat tracks with floor brackets for bucket (or split bench) seats out of the same modle style for your truck.
2)Mount thoes tracks to the seats
3)Bolt the tracks and brackets with the seats to the floor with the factory bolt holes. If you only have 2 on each side of the cab where a bench seat was, mount the tracks to these first and mark the spot on the floor for the inside track mounts, and drill out these holes.
4)use a grade 5 or 8 bolts with a washer of at least a 1 1/2″ diameter to secure them to the floor. You will need to have to place a bolt and washer undernieth the cab floor (crawl undernieth, i’m meaning) and bolt them down quite tight (clamp style, bolt –>washer –> backet –> floor –> washer –> nut) you should be good to go. The washer is needed for a larger surface area for the bolt to have on the floor for in case of an accident the bolt wont rip through the floor.
