Introduzione

Sia che tu abbia un sedile scomodo o che sia solo rovinato, sostituire i sedili nella tua Ford Super Duty con dei nuovi o poco usati da un modello più recente è un buon modo per aggiornare il tuo pick up e renderlo più comodo. I sedili dei modelli 1999-2010 sono direttamente compatibili. In questa guida sostituiremo i sedili in un modello del 2005 con i sedili 40/20/40 da un Super Duty 2013. Con delle piccole modifiche tutti sedili fino al modello 2014 possono venire montati su qualsiasi modello dal 1999 in poi.

  1. JVyAEPiItTvWrgKE

    • Foto prima di iniziare dei sedili di una Ford F-350 Super Duty del 2005. La rimozione del sedile richiede una chiave a bussola da 18 mm. Preferibilmente una presa lunga e una punta Torx T60 con cricchetto o chiave ad impulsi.

  2. fKTgNPkGAQXMjqrV

    • Porta il sedile il più indietro possibile. Usando la chiave a bussola da 18 mm rimuovi i bulloni sulla parte anteriore che fissano il sedile al pavimento. Sul mio sedile c'erano solo due bulloni. Se hai un sedile 60/40 o un sedile avvolgente, ci saranno più bulloni.

    • Muovi il sedile il più avanti possibile. Cerca un perno con un cappuccio protettivo in plastica. Rimuovi il cappuccio con un cacciavite. Usando una chiave o una bussola (se hai abbastanza spazio) da 18 mm, rimuovi il bullone dal perno. Solleva il sedile dai perni e appoggialo più avanti.

    • Sul mio sedile c'erano solo due perni/bulloni. Altri sedili potrebbero averne di più.

    • Usando la punta Torx T60 rimuovi i bulloni che fissano le prese delle cinture al pavimento e rimuovi le prese dal sedile.

  5. PYPApRmUbBSmBLYf

    • Scollega la presa della cintura dalla presa del cicalino per le cinture del veicolo. Dovrebbe essere appena sotto il retro del sedile.

    • Ora puoi rimuovere il sedile dal pick up. Se hai un sedile come quello mostrato nella guida, ti servirà una mano.

    • Ora, se il tuo pick up usava solo i fori di montaggio più esterni, dovrai trovare i due fori vicino al tunnel della trasmissione. Puoi premere con un dito nel mezzo per trovare l'apertura. Prendi un taglierino e taglia delicatamente una X sopra il foro. Rimuovi delicatamente ogni aletta triangolare così create per esporre il foro.

    • Ripeti questa procedura per l'altro lato.

  8. VNAoUSPlLjmpQNXv

    • Quindi posiziona il tuo sedile al centro, sopra il tunnel della trasmissione. I fori posteriori si dovranno allineare con i due dove erano attaccate le prese delle cinture. Avvita due bulloni in questi fori, ma non stringerli del tutto. Solleva la seduta del sedile per accedere ai due fori per i bulloni sotto il sedile.

  9. yI1xGCsMOoys2IPT

    • Adesso devi segnare e trapanare due fori nel tunnel della trasmissione. Controlla attentamente costa c'è sotto al tunnel per assicurarti di non danneggiare dei cavi o o dei meccanismi che passano lì sotto. Per questo passaggio è meglio farlo in 2 persone: una che trapana e una che controlla da sotto.

    • Questi foro sono da fare solo per montare i sedili dei modelli 2011-2014.

  10. cWWm4agieueNfUGk

    • Nota che il sedile di mezzo è leggermente più basso di quelli laterali. Posiziona momentaneamente i laterali e usa delle rondelle o degli altri distanziatori da mettere tra il pavimento e il sedile centrale per alzarlo allo stesso livello degli altri.

  11. IVJt3fuEAPpgW4Ev

    • Posiziona i sedili laterali nel pick up. dovresti riuscire ad allineare tutti i 4 fori nel sostegno dei sedili con quelli nel pavimento del pick up. Puoi usare gli stessi bulloni che hai rimosso dai sedili originali per avvitare quelli nuovi. Riposiziona i perni con un cappuccio protettivo in plastica sui nuovi sedili.

    • Nel mio caso la presa della cintura del nuovo sedile non entrava nella presa del cicalino del veicolo. Rimuovi semplicemente la presa della cintura dal sedile con una punta Torx T60 e e riattacca quella originale. Usare la presa della cintura originale ti permette di collegarla al cicalino e di farlo funzionare correttamente.

    • Assicurati di stringere correttamente tutti i bulloni. La tua sicurezza dipende da questo. Ora hai dei sedili moderni e molto più comodi nel tuoi pick up. Goditeli!

    • Le immagini sono una comparativa tra il prima e il dopo.

    Do i need to tap the holes drilled on transmission tunnel?

    I didn't, I used a bolt, washer, lock washer and nut.

Thanks for the amazing writeup! We are linking to here from our website on an upcoming blog. Once again, thanks for your business. Glad we could assist in your project.

oemcarandtruckseats -

Thanks Keith. Your staff was very helpful and the seats look awesome! I would recommend your company to anyone! Keep up the good work.

JNoles -

I see that your truck is the extended cab, will this work a single cab? I have the same year truck as a work truck but the bench seat is really uncomfortable on long trips. I would love that jump seat specially since it also works as a center console.

Lou Ramhart -

From my understanding the front seat is the same regardless if it is a single cab, extended cab, or 4 door. If you will contact the good folks at http://www.oemcarandtruckseats.com/ I believe they can definitely answer your question. I can tell you this, if you change your bench seat out for the buckets with the jump seat it will be a 150% improvement in comfort.

JNoles -

I know this was posted two years ago early 2015. Do you know if a 2016 seat will fit?

Steve -

Steve, I think the body style changed in 2016 so I am not 100% sure if it will or not. The only thing I can suggest is asking the folks at http://www.oemcarandtruckseats.com/. No I am not receiving any commission from them and I am not part of their organization. They were just really helpful to me when i was replacing the seat in my truck. I believe they could at least tell you if the seat changed from 2014/2015 to 2016. If there were no changes to the bolt pattern then it will still fit (maybe with slight modification). Give them a call. I am sure they will answer your questions even if you don't buy a seat from them.

JNoles -

FYI - I just put a 2017 jump seat in a 2003 F250. It went pretty smoothly. Some differences:

* I used a size 55 start bit. The true size is most likely something called a 55 "plus" torx bit. Just take it easy with the 55.

* The passenger seat sat up on the rear console bolt and part of the leg. I used a different bolt and turned it around bolted the thing to the floor instead of using a nut fasten the seat. Then, I had to grind off a little of the leg on the console. Now the passenger seat sits on the head of the bolt and is a quarter of an inch from the floor. I used some washers as spacers for both rear bolts on the passenger seat to level it up.

The two new bolts in the front of the console were the hardest part, but once I had the materials, that part only took a couple of hours. There was some heat shielding on the underside you have to cut through and work around. I also removed a skid plat underneath to make things easier on myself.

Replacing 07 lariat seats with 08 KR seats.. will they just plug right in?

Bill stinchcomb -

Bill, I am not 100% sure going from an 07' to 08' if it will be different or not. I went from an 05' to a 13' and I know that one was different but that was two body style changes in between. I know the body style changed in 08'. Just compare the connector and see if they match before you begin. If they don't I was able to swap the seat belt from my old seats to the new seat. That allowed the plugs to match up. It was a pretty easy swap. The seat belt was attached to one of the bolts holding the seat to the floor. Hope this helps!

JNoles -

what make and model with match my 2006 F 550? i need to change out the seats but don’t know what all matches up

Ethan -

Ethan, I swear I don’t work for these guys but they were so helpful to me in the process I just feel the need to suggest giving them a try. My guess is that the cab for the F550 is the same as my 2005 F350 but I am not 100% sure about that. What I would do is call the folks at https://www.oemcarandtruckseats.com/ or visit their website and see if anyone has posted about the F550. If you feel like the F550 has the same cab as the F350 then pretty much any seat up to at least 2014 would fit with slight modification. Good luck with your seat swap.

JNoles -

Great write-up! I realize this is an old article, but what’s not necessarily clear to me is whether you can use F150 seats or if you can only use Superduty (F250-550) seats. I have a 2003 Excursion…??

The Man -

I am not entirely certain but I do know the cab is different in an F-150. I think you could probably make the F-150 seats fit but I believe there would be more modification. The great thing about the F-250 and F-350 is their seats are interchangeable for quite a few years with little to no modification. I haven’t tried this so I certainly don’t know for certain but I don’t believe the F-150 seats will just bolt in the super duty cab.

JNoles -

can not find replacement seat.  need to buy a new one,  local ford dealer told me they do not have them any more, HELP

toc482000 -

can not find a replacement seat on line,  local ford dealer said they don’t make them any more, help? 2005 F250 Supper Duty

toc482000 -

toc48200,

Try these guys. https://www.oemcarandtruckseats.com/ That’s where I purchased mine. Remember you don’t have to limit yourself to a 2005. Pretty much any seat from a 1999 up to 2014 (at least) will fit your truck. Those guys will help you find one if you give them a call.

JNoles -

I had a 2001 F-350 extended cab long bed that I swapped the seats out of awhile ago for king ranch. I know have a 1999 F-350 extended cab short bed which I am trying to put the 2001 seats in but they will not go any reason or idea why?

David -

David, are you trying to swap the Front Seat or Rear Seat?

JNoles -

Will a 2000 f250 super cab rear bench seat fit a 2001 f350 super crew cab ?

Eric -

I don't believe the super cab and crew cab rear seats are interchangable.

JNoles -

Thank u!!!!!

Eric -

Is this something that could be fitted to a 1998 F250 standard 2-door light duty PU?

esteedel -

Can a 2008-2014 Ford Super Duty Crew Cab rear seat be used for the middle row on Ford excursions? Can I keep all of the track from my old seats? Would the new seat parts bolt to the old frame of the Excursion’s seat? I’d like to have 3 headrests and 3 shoulder belts in the second row seating for my kids. Thanks, Charles

Charles -

Charles,

I really am guessing at this one but I am pretty sure I have read that the front seats fit. If that’s the case, I think the back seats probably would work but you may potentially have to do some light modification to make sure they are bolted down properly. As far as the seat-belts, that will depend on the configuration of your current seat-belts verses the Super Duty seat-belts. If you can look at a Super Duty rear seat before you try this it would probably be helpful in making a game plan or determining if it will in fact work. Pay particular attention to how the seat is bolted down in the Super Duty and see if it lines up with your Excursion. Let us know what you find out.

JNoles -

Are the superduty f250-f550 front seats interchangeable for the years you listed? I didn't see anything specifically saying f550 seats would fit in f250. Thinking of 2000 f550 seats in 2010 f250…

Sammysammys -

Not 100% sure, but basically if the 2000 F550 Cab looks the same as a 2000 F250 then yes I believe they would.

JNoles -

I have a 2000 F350 super duty crew cab. Will the seats from a 2006 F150 King Ranch bold on to the existing rails for my 2000 seats after dismantling the seats ?

Scott Dean -

I have a 2000 F350 super duty crew cab. I would like to dismantle the seats off the power adjusting rails and put seats from a 2006 F150 King Ranch on to those rails. Will it work ?? Thank

Scott Dean -

I know the F150 and Super Duty seats are NOT interchangeable without modification. Most Super Duty seats are. While I don’t know 100% for sure, I would say the f150 seats would not work on the super duty rails.

JNoles -

I’m trying to replace a worn out manual drivers seat of a 2001- F250 super duty extended cab. What year trucks seats are compatible for an easy swap over?

Steve

lsvanw -

If it’s a bucket, pretty much anything from 1999 - 2014 will bolt right in. If it’s a bench I believe the same is true if you are replacing it with another bench.

Jody

JNoles -

What about earlier (2001) Super Cab seats with the integrated seat belt? Is it possible to modify and install a newer seat with non-integrated belts? Can the truck be modified to user the newer belt design?

Rich -

Without seeing your setup or the setup you are switching to, it’s hard to know. Integrated seat belts sometimes are attached to the cab of the truck and not the seat. You may want to have a close look at your current seats and see if the they indeed connected to the seat or cab. If you have integrated shoulder belts now, I would look for seats with the same configuration. I found that even in the newer trucks this configuration varies.

JNoles -

Hi thanks for that info but I have a 2000 f250 super duty extended cab that doesnt have electric seats and was given automatic adjusting seats u didnt mention if that was possible ?? If so how?

Paul -

Paul, I don’t think there is going to be a plug and play option for you. You may do some research and find an adapter that allows for this but I don’t believe you are going to find the plug needed for power seats on a truck that doesn’t currently have them. I know mine didn’t have power seats and there was no plug for power seats when I removed the original.

JNoles -

I have an early 1999 F-250 extended cab and I’d like to change out the rear bench for something that has headrests. The original design is definitely a safety issue. I know leg room would be an issue, but I only ever have one person in the back on the passenger side and my wife is 4’ 10’ so the front seat 60/40 is slid forward. I am OK with some fabrication. I might even just put a seat on the passenger side and leave the area behind my driver’s seat empty for my dog or cargo. Thoughts? The newer model rear seats look close in online pictures, but that doesn’t mean much. Thanks for any assistance.

rob_shores -

Thanks so much for this!! Do you know if we can do this same switch for a diesel/standard transmission or if the stick shift prohibits you from the bucket seats with the center console set up?

ashleymknight7 -

If you buy the buckets with the jump seat it will not be a problem. They take up no more room than the bench seat. I think you would be fine with that configuration. I don’t know about the dedicated center console. I don’t think it would be a problem as long as the console is one of the older free standing ones that don’t connect to the dash.

JNoles -

I just put a seat from a 2013 F350 CREW CAB (40 20 40 seat set up) into a 2003 f350 xl crew cab super duty and this was great.

Only comment I would add is the jump seat will not work in the down position because I have a manual 6 speed and there is not enough room.

Very happy with seats from oemcarandtruckseats.com

Great upgrade and super comfortable.

John Vandermeer II -

Those guys are very knowledgeable and helpful. I am sure you will enjoy your new seats. It changes the whole feel of the truck. I know it did for me.

JNoles -

Don't be an idiot like me and not check to make sure that T60 works for your vehicle. I have a 2004 F150 and I took the seat out of a 2002 F150, they both had T55 and no 18mm needed. The instructions are good just make sure you have the right Torx bit and tools. just needed the impact tool and Torx bit

Thank You
