How to Install Mustang Seats in your Ford Truck.

jeez this thing's heavy all right it is a it's a part we made surprise surprise all right a lot of times you're trying to come up with a different seat in the inside of your truck that's more comfortable than the bench seat and maybe has some more features than the bench seat maybe it's got power maybe it's got lumbar and so then you try to decide what what seats should i use and what will actually fit so one thing we found that is a seat which we like and that is out of the mustang gt so all these guys are doing coyote swaps they're buying all these you know these cars they're pulling the motors out the seats are actually pretty good and so we've been using the seats from 1967 all the way up to 1979 but actually getting it to fit inside actually the most troublesome you got to have a bracket made it needs to look okay it's got to position the seat where you want it and that can actually be kind of a pain in the neck so we've done it and so what we did is rather than just do a one-off we actually made it to where we designed it in cad we've had a couple prototypes made we've used some we've tested them we made sure that it's something we like now so this is one bracket right here and you can either bolt it in and you'll have something like this that will go underneath the cab to act as like a big washer to make sure this doesn't pull out and everything's secure and safe it's also very thick steel we wanted to make sure that what you're bolting to whether you're welding it in or whatever you're doing is going to be nice and safe so safety first when it comes to installing a seat or seat belts so this basically you just install this this would be like the door jamb side this is the front where you sit and you bolt this in bolt this in here and then from there you've got your points and you'll actually have to probably drill one hole through the sheet metal and put a big washer there so we can show you what this looks like we've actually got a truck where we've got seats installed we've actually had a carpeted and we'll kind of give you an idea of what you're what it looks like when it's done so um we've got a 73-79 truck over here where we've got it all installed we'll come walk over and take a look at it but we also have these brackets for 67.72 as well all things that are ready to launch here very soon and uh just kind of wanted to show you a couple of things but let's walk over and look at this so if you take a look at these seats these are out of a mustang they've been upholstered they've been wrapped and this is right cheers hey pierce one second geez and so this right here is that bracket right here it's been installed and then it's been carpeted up and over and then the seat has been bolted in now this is basically bolted into the actual seat where the original seat belt would have been and then these come down and these bolt in for the three-point harness right so pretty cool product the seat's super comfortable you've obviously got you know power it doesn't work because we got the power off because i'll show you something cool so this one's getting an upgrade and it's got a whiffle supercharger and so they're kind of getting the plumbing dialed in we've got a custom cool heat exchange tank that's been installed good chance this might actually fire up tomorrow but super cool and it's gonna be super fast it's a stage two it'll probably be close to 700 horsepower on a gen 3 mustang gt adapted to uh four wheel drive transmission transfer case uh four-wheel posit traction so if you want to do a burnout you can have all four tire spin at the exact same time so um i'm sure he will do it because that's what he's plans on doing anyway so but super cool so back to this um you know if you're trying to get that classic look and you want a bench seat obviously this doesn't work for you but if you really want kind of uh you get out of your f-150 and you like it so much but you want to jump up in here then you can jump up in here and have more of that modern feel it kind of hugs you nice the foam feels real good we've installed amp running boards on this and so when uh when the power's on the amp running boards come out makes it easier to get in but super nice look and i think he's going to be pretty excited to drive this it's going to feel comfortable drive it everywhere so an option for you you don't have to use it obviously it's something you're interested in you know definitely go check it out on the website but it definitely makes doing that kind of adaption a little bit better now if you look up here a typical bench seat you're going to see about this much we took the headrest off the seat and we actually did cut the seat down about this much so there wouldn't be so much exposed super easy to do just lopped some off tacked it brought the foam down reshape the foam a little bit and then we upholstered it here in our shop so not hard to do but at the same time you know super comfortable so check it out if you have any more questions email the guys here at the shop and they'll get you handled thanks [Music] you
