Installed leather seats in supercab

Installed a set of tan leather seats this weekend in my 05 Supercab. Found them thru an online seller. The hardest part was removing the rear seat, even though I read all the posts on how to do it. Took me about 45min. of huffin and puffin also some sweating. Took a break and re read the threads, had it out 10 min. later. This was the mod I was most excited about but now that they're in I dont like the fact that I slide around in them. I will say that I love the way they look. Think I got a pretty good deal, since a local upholstery shop wanted almost $800 to recover them in leather. I had the whole set(rear bench, both front seats with tracks and the center console lid) shipped to my house for less than that. Not sure what to do with the center jump seat.... recover in leather? remove and buy center console? or just clean it up and leave it alone for now, I'm leaning towards the last choice since its the least expensive. My original tan cloth seats were very hard to keep clean, had them steam cleaned over a year ago but they kept getting waterstains even if just a little bit of rain drizzled on them. So now I have a full set of supercab seats with tracks sitting in my garage, minus the rear single seat. I tossed it in my haste to clean up. I know this isnt the for sale section but is any one needing any of these parts, not asking much for them even willing to sell just a cushion or part them out. The seats are in fair condition they do need another cleaning, but no tears or holes. Maybe can be used to repair a chewed up cushion or to upgrade a non power driver seat to a powered seat. Make me an offer, i used my original tracks as the seller dissasembled the seats completely for shipping. Need to get them out of the garage soon, my wife is already complaining. Anyway pics below.

Hey Blink, try finding an XLT style console to put in place of the center jump seat, they are a direct bolt in, only four bolts.
Ford made them in tan to match and you can use your tan leather console lid on it, it will fit.
Try searching ebay under " F150 console" they run about 2 bills, maybe more for a tan one.

they look like this

Here is a link to the seller on ebay who usually has them and most have bought from him. If you want one, try contacting him and see if he can get you a tan one.

So if I have the jump console like he has above it will unbolt seperately from the driver and passenger side and the XLT console will bolt directly in place?

EDIT: Just searched the interior forum. Looks like this is something else I'm going to have to do. Damn this website is going to make me go broke.
