Hey guys.

I picked up a bench seat from a 92-96 F150 with Nice upholstery, Lumbar, a center armrest, and bolts for a cup holder. Excellent for 25 bucks!

My issue is that the mounting brackets are 42" apart vs. the 47" in my R10. I was thinking of using a couple sticks of 1x1 steel, but thought I'd ask here first.

Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

stick it in there. most if not all non factory seats well require some sort of fab work.

Sent from the dust in front of you!

Go for it, and take some pics. X2 on having to modify the seat rails, especially buckets. Seat height is usually the issue. Watch your head.

I just bench seat brackets to bolt in my buckets. They are factory and holes line up. You'd need some 1x1 tubing and some fab work but its not hard.
