bucket to bench swap

so i want to swap my front bucket seats in my access cab with like a 90’s ford f150 type of bench seat. would that even be possible?

 

Welcome to the forum

Possible -- sure...

Practical -- probably not. The seats have air bags built in to the outer sides and there is a bunch of electronics connected to make sure the system works.

 

What's your plan for the transmission shifter? There's a reason trucks with front bench seats have a column shifter.

 

Anything is possible, but this is a potential (probable) nightmare.

 

it would be easier and cheaper to trade in on a double cab,, if seating space is your goal.

 

I'll be the dream squasher.

No.

The brain for the airbag system sits right where the third person's legs woukd go.

You would need to:

• Fabricate a custom dashboard and relocate all electronics. This includes relocating and fabricating a couple of structural components.
• Fabricate, upholster, and relocate airbags to new bench
• Relocate the shift linkage and gear shift
• Relocate the E brake linkage and e brake
• Still have zero room for 3rd passenger thanks to the trans tunnel.

So, No.

 

remember; telling the truth doesn't make one mean.
