2008 fleet model XLT, add third row seat?

[jgrygla]

I just lost my trustie 2004, XLT. RIP. I have a good lead on a 2008, but it is a fleet vehicle without a third seat. Would it be possible to install my old 2004 third manual seat into the 2008 model? I don't know how much the body changed or if I can get underneath to bolt it down.
Thoughts?

I would imagine so. Your local dealership should be able to tell you

I would think it would fit too, but I would highly doubt a Ford dealer would know whether or not it would fit. Your best bet would be to measure the cargo area, and determine whether the bolt holes are in the same place.

Just remember the rear trim panels also have to be replaced when installing the seat belts, and I wouldn't count on those being the same between the '04 and '08.

siding

i wonder if the siding frm my 04 will fit somehow. i kept it for parts since the engine died.

I had a 2007 Expedition SPV (Police version). All the mounting lugs are present. In fact, the Cargo Tray that replaced the third row was bolted in with the Grade 8 fasteners that would attach the seat. I suggest Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market for the third row. You can search by color, distance etc. Most auto recyclers will also have their phone numbers listed.
