I bought a 2006 f150 fx4 quad cab recently. I like the space but need room for one more person. I noticed the 05' standard 150s have bench seat options for the front, but the fx4 doesn't. It has the flow through console with the shifter on the console. I'd like to retro fit a bench seat or jumper seat in the front and remove what I can of the console to do it.. We could probably be ok with the shifter staying but the console would have to be out to fit a bench. Any suggestions on any mods that could be made to add a middle seat or bench seat safely to the front for an f150 fx4?

 

You must be the only person on the face of the planet who wants to go from the flow-through console to a bench seat.....

 

Pretty sure I am. Ha. Gist of the story is I got a deal on the truck and the only downside is lacking space for one more passenger on infrequent, but long,.. trips. I know other models have bench seats but couldn't find one cheap enough. Only solution I found so far is the Bedryder. The kids would love it with a topper on it I'm sure. Just thought it might be simple to add a jumper seat or bench configuration without much money spent.

 

I suspect trying to put a bench seat in a truck with the flow-through would probably end up looking like a hack job -- I'd advise against it.
