are you looking for a new bench seat?
ok this is a question that is always asked all the time. and it is one of those questions that is very simple. so to help that question along i have taken this picture of the drivers side seat in a 87 f150. the seat if it was good would bolt right up to your old seat tracks. as you can see in the picture of the top of the seat where the bracket bolt. it has two bolts from the 87 seat bracket coming through it. remove the 87 seat bracket with those 2 bolts. using your seat tracks bolt them to the 87 seat in the same place the 87 tracks came from. this picture is of the drivers side 87 seat track and support with the cushion and spring removed for a better pic. this same princle should work the same for bucket seats. except with bucket seat you will need 2 seats of seat tracks. and the inner set of seat tracks will have to have new holes drilled int he front of the floor to bolt down the seat tracks. now all you have to do is pick your color.

Re: are you looking for a new bench seat?
ok so i have made up some more as kind of a tutorial. the seat i am working with came from a 92 f150. The about picture was taken from a 1988 F150. here is a picture of the 92 seat bottom and the tracks. you can see that these tracks wont fit our floors.

SO you remove these tracks by taking out the four bolts that hold both tracks on 2 for each side. and you end up with welded on nuts to the 92 seat.

take a drill and drill out those nuts. to abotu a 5/16 bolt size. once you do that just slip your old tracks right up into the new seat. and bolt them down. As you can see the track bolts are almost the exact length apart.
