Most seats will fit but it's not a bolt in, you'll have to drill mounting holes for it at a minimum. Anything up to '96 is almost a direct swap. Read this for more information. http://www.fordification.com/tech/seats.htm

Just a side note here: We tried some 2004 style F150 bucket Seats, they will not work without pretty heavy mods. The seat itself is made too high , even took of all the track and tried again still to high and sets to far forward. We could not make them work. Have a really nice set of Gray Cloth 2004 F150 bucket seats for sale now.......

What year seat tracks are compatible with the 1970 F100? I'm in the process of purchasing the 70 F100 and I'm not sure what's in it, but I know it's not original and the tracks aren't even bolted to the floor. I think I can get a 78 bench seat and tracks pretty reasonably close by and I read that all seats through 96 are compatible if you use the original tracks but I couldn't find anything on track interchange.

Thanks

I'm in the same boat, looking for a bench and track.
I have a '70 with buckets (80s Escort). Gas tank still in the cab.
Obviously the 67-72 track, but what about the Dents and 80-96?

I forgot to take pictures but the tracks on the dentside at the shop look the same as ours, so maybe up to '79.

Thanks for the info. I bought the bumpside I was looking at, but the 78 seat didn't pan out, so I will keep looking. I've got a lot to do before I really need to be concerned about the seat anyway.
