Ford FalconFord Falcon - With standard features such as the exhilarating 6-cylinder Barra 182 engine, Control Blade IRS (sedan only), Sequential Sports Shift (on the optional automatic transmission) and an Intelligent Safety System which boasts a multitude of advanced safety features, the Falcon XT is not only a driver's car. It's also a car that the whole family can enjoy.
Anyone have any suggestions for a front bench seat swap on a 62 Falcon sedan?
I'm considering replacing my front bench seat with a late model unit from a salvage yard. My current one is just shot.(broken springs, nasty smelly stuffing, ect.) Has anyone got any suggestions on a late model vehicle that would have a front bench seat that would be of simular size and dimensions?
I'm thinking something from a small pickup would be my only alternative. It is not a split back but just a standard front seat. Thanks.
Would you believe Caddilacs from the 1970's? Which also means that most GM benches of the 70's interchanged with the Caddy's (only the padding and seat covers differ).
OR, have you considered placing the SEAT TRACKS from your Falcon's seat on a bench seat of the proper width/depth? Many people simply give up when the find the mounting bolts on the donor seat are in different locations then the seat they are replacing. They fail to notice that the seat tracks are removable and/or can be easily modified to bolt onto another seat.
Using seat tracks from the donor car usually puts the seat higher/lower/further back or front of the stock seat. Stick with the original Ford designed part and there is a much better chance of the donor seat being in the correct position.
I did a paper on auto seat design back in the dark ages (college) and quickly discovered that seat design and placement has a major physical effect on the human body. Simply bolting in a seat and thinking "I can adjust" is a way of developing MAJOR back problems.
