will 2001 expedition seats fit in a 2001 Ford F-150 SC?
I can not find a set of tan leather seats anyplace!! An can i go with the buket an not the bench?

 

Yes, yes, and yes.....

I just did the swap myself. I went from a 60/40 bench cloth to the Eddie Bauer bucket seats with heat and console.

The fronts swap right in... Except you have to tap a couple holes with two different tap sizes, two for the console and one for the seat.

Then on to the back seats. They are the same seats except that the frame for the f150 doesn't tilt forward to give access to the back like the one on the expy does. The 60% side in the back is a straight bolt in but the 40% you will have to take the seat back and bottom off the expy rail and bolt them onto the f150 rail and this was a little bit of a pain as you had to almost take the seat apart to get to the 4 bolts.

I can post some pictures if you would like of the bolts on the seats. I still have the old ones taken apart so I could post pics as to the whole process to take the seats apart.

Here are a picture of the Expy seats in the F150!!!







I guess the dog thought she was going for a ride

I can post a ton of pics about taking the seats apart and if you want i will go out and take pictures of the back seats too!!

Good luck and let me know if i can help you

Post pics when you get done!

 

This is sooo awsome i love the center console

 

Thanks..... It really finished the truck!!

 

I see your in florida as well...


I have a set of Expy Eddie Bauer Tan Leather bucket seats (Captain chairs like the pictures he posted) along with the full length center console for sale... They are dirty and the drive side has 2 tears in it, but it would be a good start for you and you can get the re-covered

 

Yeah if you could send me some pics an like what size tap u had to use an all that good stuff i am tryin to find me some seats now i have leather in it now but they are not in good shape an i dont really want to go back to the bench seat in the front.

 

Whats your email... and I am not sure I understand fully your question?

But I will give you a good deal on the seats I need to get them the hell out of my way before the end of the month, I was going to use them, but found another seat already covered in black leather

 

Here is the write up on the swap and it will tell you the tap sizes and everything else.

You can find the tan leather rousch covers everywhere on ebay. The grey ones are hard to find though. I think there like 279.99 for the whole set of expy covers. Cheap way to recover f150 seats.

Heres the link.

yes you can i just made that transformation about 3 weeks ago maybe a month. if you need ANY small details just ask me. i went from 99 bench in a SuperCab to 03 Bucket w/ console from a SuperCrew

 

Ok, I've been doing some research on these conversions. I'm wanting to go from the 60/40 bench to 2 bucket seats, BUT I've got a 01 F150 XLT but it has the manual shift 4 wheel drive. Is there a console that will not go all the way up to the dash so that I can still use my 4 wheel drive?
thanks

maybe, look into the 02&03 f150 center console. it doesnt go all the way into the dash. its what i just got.

 

someone correct me if im wrong, but i thought only the expedition consoles are the ones that go all the way to the dash? my truck originally had buckets and the regular F150 console. but i swapped in an expedition console.

when i bought mine, i unknowingly got the widetop console, and lost the use of my armrests on the seat. but just recently found a decent shaped narrow top & just installed that one. now im thinking of hacking up my lightning seats & making it a 2 seater with the widetop.

 

I have a 2000 f 150 sc, can I install factory seats from a 2006? 2005?, 2004? How can I find out which are interchangeable?

 

You could theoretically do the 04-08 F150 seats or the 03-08 expy seats but it would take alot more work. You would have to reuse your existing frames, and drill holes to match the ones on the bottom of the seats. Its possible, but not easy compared to swapping 97-03 f150 seats with 97-02 expy seats.

 

Thanks for your response, so if I understand you correctly my options are:

1997 - 2003 f 150 seats will fit - no issues
1997 - 2002 expedition will fit - no issues

2004 - 2008 f 150 will fit with work, drillinlg new holes and cover old
2003 - 2009 expedition will fit with same work as above.

What about f 250 or f 350? will they fit?

Also, if the seats come from an 1997 - 2003 and they are factory they are ALL interchangeable?

Thanks again, the answer will save me a lot of time and grief, who wants to call the dealer !!!
