Einleitung
Egal ob du eine unbequeme Rückbank oder einfach nur kaputte Sitze hast, es ist immer eine gute Idee, deinen Truck upzudaten und die alten, kaputten Sitze durch neue, leicht gebrauchte Sitze eines neueren Modelles auszutauschen. Die Sitze aus 1999-2010 sind komplett kompatibel, die Sitze aus 2014 benötigen kleine Veränderungen. In diesem Tutorial tausche ich einen Sitz aus einem 2005er Ford Super Duty mit 2013er Super Duty 40/20/40-Sitzen aus.
Was du brauchst
-
-
Die Ausgangssituation in meinem 2005er Ford F-350 Super Duty. Für den Ausbau des Sitzes (der Bank) brauchst Du eine 18mm-Nuss (besser: Langnuss) und ein T60 Torx-Bit mit Ratsche, ggf. Schlagschrauber
-
-
-
Schiebe den Sitz soweit wie möglich nach hinten und entferne die Sitz-Befestigungsschrauben. (An meiner Sitzbank waren nur zwei davon) - Wenn du einen 60/40 Sitz oder einen leicht vertieften Schalensitz hast, werden es mehr Schrauben sein.
-
-
-
Bringe den Sitz in die vorderste Position.
-
Entferne li. u. re. die beiden Plastikkappen mit ei. Schraubendreher und die Muttern von den Stehbolzen. An meiner Bank waren nur zwei Schrauben. Die Anzahl variiert.
-
Hebe den Sitz von den Haltern nach vorne weg und positioniere ihn vorne.
-
-
-
Den Verbindungsstecker für die Gurtwarnung trennen. Er befindet sich unter der Hinterseite des Sitzes.
-
-
-
-
Wenn in deinem Truck nur die äußeren Befestigungslöcher verwendet wurden, müssen jetzt zwei weitere re. und li. des Mitteltunnels freigelegt werden; die Öffnungen in der Karosserie lassen sich ertasten und anschließend durch X-formiges Einschneiden der Verkleidung freilegen.
-
-
-
Als nächstes wird der Notsitz über dem Getriebetunnel platziert. Die hinteren Löcher sollten mit den ursprünglichen Si.-Gurtbefestigungslöchern übereinstimmen
-
Setze zwei Schrauben in die Löcher, ziehe sie aber nicht vollständig an. Klappe den Notsitz hoch, um die beiden vorderen Befestigungslöcher des Notsitzes zugänglich zu machen.
-
-
-
Beide Löcher auf dem Mitteltunnel markieren und dort vorsichtig(!) zwei 8,5 mm Löcher bohren. Dabei darauf achten, dass keine im Tunnel verlaufenden Leitungen beschädigt werden. Diese Löcher sind nur notwendig für Sitze der Baujahre 2011 bis 2014
-
Den Sitz anschließend mit 2 Sechskantschrauben M8(8g) mit der erforderlichen Länge unter Verwendung von Beilagscheiben und selbstsichernden Muttern am Tunnel verschrauben
-
-
-
Um zu vermeiden, dass die Sitzfläche des Notsitzes tiefer liegt als die der Schalensitze, können diese provisorisch ins Fz. gestellt und die Sitzhöhe des Notsitzes durch Unterlegen von Beilagscheiben, etc. angepasst werden.
-
-
-
Die Befestigung der Schalensitze ( 4 Löcher) sollte jetzt mit denselben Schrauben / Muttern vom Ausbau möglich sei. Die Plastikabdeckungen nicht vergessen.
-
-
-
Sollten die Verbindungsstecker für die Gurtwarnung nicht mehr zusammenpassen, entfernt man die am Sitz montierte Gurtaufnahme (Torx 60) und reinstalliert die ursprünglich eingebaute am Fz.-Boden
-
-
-
Zum Schluss alle Befestigungsschrauben fest anziehen -- Deine Sicherheit hängt davon ab!
-
Der Ersatz von alten, unbequemen, verschlissenen Sitzen durch neue, schöne Sitze lässt dein Truck in neuem Glanz erstrahlen!

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.
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.

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

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, 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!
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, 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.

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…??
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.

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

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

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,
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.

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

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 ?
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
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.

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
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.

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?
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.

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, 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.

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.
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?
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.

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.
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.

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
