Front Seat Exchange

[bmassimini]

I have 2 bucket seats with a console in the middle, I would like to take that out and put in a bench seat so that care can seat 9. Called a dealership and they had no idea. Was wondering if a F-150 or Navigator might be interchangeable. Thanks in advance.

Your going to have take a measurement from the outside front left track to outside right track. Do the same with rear. It's got to be the same. As long as theirs nothing to interfere with the bench, should work. Take pen, paper and tape measure to wrecking yard. Let us know what you come up with. In the past we tried the opposite, putting buckets instead of a bench. You could always pick up a good used 12 passenger ford van, if your swap doesn't work. Their usually available fairly cheap.

I would doubt a Navigator ever had a bench option. But an F-150 of the same year range should work. Same for an E-150 van.

Yes, I think it works. Someone on here did a switch like that it seems.

Bowesmobile, any idea what vehicle would work best? F150 maybe? My care does have a center console for cup holders and such, the shifter is up next to the steering wheel, so I know that would be an issue. It will be hard to take measurements from the outside tracks with that in the way. I took pics of the tracks on both the driver and passenger seats, will that be enough? Might be best to just take it into a scrap yard and let them help me huh?

Not sure it will work for you or not. But if it works then will be interesting.

What year? If you have black leather I would be happy to figure out a way to trade you!! I have a 2009 xlt.
