I was wondering if it is possible to swap to captain chairs from the split 60/40? I have a 2004 stx new body style. And if there is the factory mounts for the captain seats and the center council. And what years are compatible?

 

The captains chairs and the outer 40's are the same seats. When ford puts a console between them, they call them captains chairs, with the center seat they are called 40/20/40 split bench. If you want a console, an XLT style console is a direct bolt for the center 20 seat. Four bolts, five minutes tops.

The XLT console is the one without the shifter, can be found on ebay for about 2 bills. search under "F-150 console"

 

Did a quick search, here is an XLT console for the 04-up 150's

i just got that console in the mail today, looks great and iit was reasonably priced. the only thing in the 4 bolts are torqued down so damn tight its a bitch to get them off. i had to go to 4 different places to find a T50 torx bit

 

Thanks i did not even realize that the center seat didn't move and when i went out and checked it didn't.... so i have to say thanks and i think it will make a big change in how the truck looks. So that is going to be on my wish list and is most likely gonna happen soon. I just have to say THANKS!!! But this may be a stupid question does it just go over the seat or do you have to take it out completely?

 

You have to unbolt the center 20 and remove it from the truck and the console goes in it's place.

 

wally world has t50? thought it was 40, buts its a stanley torx set, last one you will need and cheap

 

yeap i found it last night. now i just need to find my breaker bar to get the damn bolts out

 

nolongerjeepin, let me know how it looks and if you had any complications... and post dome pics plz

 

I picked up my T50 in the Craftsman section at Sears. They did only have one though...

 

well i finally got it all out and got the console installed. i love it, looks great, and feels better then the fold down one. i broke my cheap *** ratchet on the last bolt tho. apparently the poor thing couldnt handle that much torque. i'll post some pics later tonight

 

i just ordered the center console and it should be here in about a week and then i will be installing it and i can't wait to see what it looks like.

 

alright guys as promised here are the pics of the center console. install was pretty straight forward. you need a t-50 torx bit and a breaker bar. just search and there are hundreds of install threads


new console!

perfect clearance for the manual transcase lever

LOTS of storage compared to the fold down

heres the new back

 

nolongerjeepin why do you have a stick in the center console

 

it looks good man i hope my looks that good!!!
