@Rumbledawg what year seats are those? How was getting them installed?
not sure of yr. guy i got them from said they were out of his son 's wrecked super duty.
not up to par on ford stuff, but i think the KR seats were available in SD's from '03 on. mine are 10 way power with heaters, but only a 2 wire hookup, which leads me to believe they are earlier seats as i seen a set from an '08 and it had like 5, 6, 7 wires or so to hook them up
install was fairly easy. i used the ford brackets cause they are lower and believe it, all the holes on the buckets lined up with the factory holes, just had to put a 2" spacer on both of the front inside bolts.
the rears didn't line up as nice, but was still pretty simple. the two front bolts once again hit the factory holes, the 2 rears were about half an inch off the factorys, some angle iron worked to get them into the factory holes. the 2 middle ones (seat is a 60/40 split) are non existent and had to drill, but they go thru the factory body brace underneath like the factory holes, and did use fishplates similar to the stock ones on them as well.
one thing i had to do after install was put a tilt column in, not a lot of comfortable leg to steering wheel room
I remember the first run of Ford Super Duty King Ranch models many years ago.
Those seats were the most comfortable leather seats I’d ever sat in.
The leather was like an old baseball glove, soft & smooth.
the leather is like an old glove!
learned real quick to put covers on them though...
the seats themselves only cost me about 40 mins of my labor, but i just about cr@pped when the wife told me what she paid for the covers, at the time in '08, available at the ford dealer, $425
wife was not ticked at the price, she was upset cause i had to go to the dealer and wrecked her anniversary surprise for me. i guess she called the dealer about the covers and the guy goes what yr is the truck, wife is like '85
guy prob scratches his head, KR seats aren't available in '85. he tells my wife go get the vin. wife gets vin gives it to guy, he's like that don't show up on any my stuff. asks if she got vin right, wife is like ya. guy says is it a f150, f250....wife is like no, it's a chevy. guy is prob by now thinking oh boy, some dumb.....he suggests call the chevy dealer. wife says but their king ranch seats, guy's like why do i get the "un-smart" ones. says KR seats have never come in chevy's and he can't help her.
wife tells me what happened, so i go down to the dealer and say i need KR covers, what yr? '85, the look on the guys face was priceless.
i says to him, come outside. he's like wow, this makes sense now, he even mentioned how factory-ish and clean they looked.
