front bucket seats

I just purchased a 1993 150XLT supercab with bucket seats in the front. When I go camping, I'll be taking my wife and 4 small children. I've now got enough seating for 5, any suggestions for 1 additional seat?

Is there a stock F150 front bench seat that will bolt in taking into consideration seat belts.

Is there another idea unusual or not that I might consider? I hate to lose the comfortable driver's bucket seat. Will appreciate any/all ideas you might have. Thanx...steve

i'm sure you could find somebody on here that would swap you a bench for your buckets, cuz alot of guys do the bucket seat mod where they cut down their bench so its 2 individual buckets. goodluck

seats

I would trade you in a heartbeat!!! I have a 97 f-150, with the front bench seat (gray). I put three booster seats in the extended cab, but I was looking for buckets.. let me know, I can drive down, or pay most of the shipping.....

I don't know, today (it's 5:30) I will get the measurements..
Outside bolt hole, to outside bolt hole.., and front to back.
My bench seat has a fixed seating position, no tears in the seating area, but where the seat meets the seat-back, where it folds, it had started to separate. I sewed it with gray thread, and it hasn't gone any futher. Gray vinyl or cloth seats, mine are cloth with the vinyl on top by the head rests. Oh ya, the seat back splits when you access the extended cab, because I have that third door. passenger side is probably 40% side. I will let you know.

Hey roushfan,
Believe it or not, there is a population of us out there that use our trucks for other things than show and go. Bet you don't have progressive rate helper springs as a mod on your truck, bet you haven't had three mcdonalds flurries spilled in the back of your truck from three screaming toddlers, get my point? thanks..
