i posted a thread earlier this month maybe late last month, i bout 03 F-150 SCREW bucket seats w/ cosole to replace my stock 1999 SCAB bench. i was looking what tools i needed to take the old out and in with the new. and...well heres a little help, I'm a Sr. in high school and my dad its not a mechanic whatsoever and doenst own any good tools. so what tools do i need to take out the old and in w/ the new, and i could uoe plenty of deatils on how to install the center console. THANKS!

 

There are 2 nuts on the front part of the track, not sure but I think they are 15mm. There are 2 more on the rear part of the seats, don't quote me on that just yet though. I'm in the process of changing my front seats in my 2000 HD SCAB to 2002 seats so when I change mine I'll let you know of the size you'll need. As for the console, did you get the mounting brackets? If so, I think you have to cut some of the carpet away, but I can't say that for sure because mine already had a console in it. Best suggestion is to lay everything in place and mark where the brackets would have to be mounted. I think if you pull the carpet up you'll see on the floor marks where there would be drill outs. Hope this helps out somewhat

 

dude thanks sooo much! i have this posted in 2 places and this is the only response. yea good idea by laying everything out (im not the brightest crayon in the box. lol) i really dont want to pull my carpet out just cause its a hassel. and where do i get mounting brackets? i dont think they are coming w/ any, i pick up the seats on friday.

 

The seats you're getting, is the console attached to the passenger seat, or is the console by itself? As for getting the carpet out of the way, thats easy. Just pull up on the scuff plates (place where you step to get into truck), and just pull it back from the firewall area. Its not glued down, and if you have your seats out, pulling the carpet back will be very easy.

 

oh ok thanks! uhm the console is by its self i currently have the console attached to the passenger seat (and i hate it) im getting the new seats and console friday!

 

you will need torx bits for the bolts that hold the frame/tracks of the seats down to the floor pan of the truck. I believe its T-30 and T-35 but i dont remember for sure.

Not sure on the console deal....

 

Seperate console makes it so much easier. I believe if you pull the carpet back just to the back of the front seats, if memory serves there will be indents in the metal on the floor to where the console would go. I wish I was at the point where I could mount my seats so I could just take a picture, but I'm about a week away from changing my seats. I'll try and help as much as I can.

 

thanks!

 

yea i think im going to pull the carpet back anyway cuz it seems easier. haha yea pics would help, i pick the seats up tommrow, i have a friend that has a 66 Mustang and hes wayyy more technical/mechanical than me. but ill post pictures to help you.

 

thinking about it more, it might be T40 and T45. Just get you a whole set of drivers for a 3/8" ratchet and you will be set. Other things on the truck use torx so it will be a worth while investment.....

 

yeap i got the seats, i didnt get home untill like 9 45 tonight so i dont feel like installing them. as for the console, i have to get mounting brackets. know anywhere i can get some of those? lol.

 

i got the seats in! it was a T50. took 7 1/2 hours to install, console took kinda long but what took the longest is the power seat harness was diffrent from my 99 seat than the 03 seat. Where it was place is what took the longest trying to un-hook and re-hook them. But it works! And I love the seats!

 

Pictures?
