Got an f150 for pretty much free

Well my dad has had his 90 f150 since 96 and for the last 3 years it has been sitting. The motor went in it for him. It runs and drives but has a tranny fluid leak some place.

Specs 1990 f150 302 auto manual t Case reg cab long bed 4wd

Things to do
1. Alignment
2. Fix several leaks
3. Leveling kit
4. Helper air bags
5. Gooseneck hitch
6. New seats
7. Regear with l/s or locker



What year seats will be a direct bolt in?

I'm looking for something 40/60 style so I can still fit 3 people but have an arm rest when only 2 people in truck.

Tranny leak - check the three rubber plugs on top of the shifter housing.

Seats, whats wrong with the current seat? I dont think Ford offered a 60/40 like that. Most regular cab bench seats have a fold down center arm rest...

the 60/40 will not work unless you make your own brackets for the mounts... and loos the attitude. we help those who respect us.

Not for an auto.

Yup, I've got Jeep seats in a Bronco, Bronco seats in a Blazer, Bench seat from who knows what in a '79.

Just need a drill, some fender washers, and at most some brackets built to fit.
