Yeah the seat setup itself is different. My dad's old '97 had a flip-down back seat that folded forward toward the front seat. My '03 folds up towards the back of the rear seat.

Heres the pic! ( the rears are being shipped from flordia) Think i jumped the gun on this and im going to be doing some fab worh to get the rears to fit but he's shipping all the brackets too. SO hope fully I can make it work..Prob is with these seats theres no integrated seat belts in them like the ones on the truck now! LOL well looks like im gonna be busy making somthing work cause im in love with them now after buying them! LOL

Wow! Thanks Deno! Looks like im going to be searching the junk yards around here or CL! The guy who I bought the back seats from is sending me all the brackets so i should be able to make that work but its going to be tricky mounting the seat belts through my head liner....Hope the bolt holes never changed! LOL

Thanks fordguy! Just hope i can pull off mounting everything and making it work correctly! Not going to be easy but i think it will really make the Interior match the outside of the truck. Im going to have the Ford motorsports SVO logo/ or just ford oval stitched into the headrests i think. My brother inlaw said he can get me a good deal i will also have the rear seats done to.

Those bucket seats are sweet! Any luck on the seat belts yet? And have you seen the dash kits on CarID.com? I think it would add a nice touch to how awesome your truck already is. Give it that custom look.

I got belts that will work out of a 2000 f350 the color is spot on! i just put one of those carbon fiber dash kits in my truck...Think i have a pic from the backseat on my profile in the pics section but the grey of the carbon fiber is about the match to the dash so its very suddel ...Looks classy in my opion! LOL But i really like that cover its pretty stellar! Maybe when i get my new tires and more lift put on ill look into that ptm to the truck!

oooh, i see it now. very nice job, classy is a good word choice. i bet it looks even better in person. What brand did you use? and is it a sticker type of thing that goes over the existing dash or a direct replacement?
i want the REMIN Ebony Zebra and darker carpets.

have you seen Richard's truck (Hulk)? His interior is pretty sweet. he also has Katskin seats.

It's the sticker type. Its what i had purchased with my winnings from TOTM from auto anything. Oh and you bet ive seen the hulks Profile! LMAO! My original plan wat katzkin but i want to use that money to rebuild and install my L swap ive been waiting to do and more lift and tires. I might recover the seats eventually still but man all this stuff adds up so damn quick and your always finding new stuff along the way!
