I went to local junk yard, and found some seats out of a f350 super duty for a 150 bucks, and installed them myself. I think they look pretty good.

That looks awesome! F250/350's have pretty comfy seats too. What did you all do on the floor-side of things...mounting and such? Also what about seatbelts?

Oh!, I thought they were ultra reclined back. I'm not quite as excited any more.

Sorry about the delay in response time. The seats mounted in with a few holes drilled right into the floor board. I had a buddy weld some extra metal on the bottom of the floor board where the new holes were drilled for support. As far as them being ultra reclined, they do adjust pretty far back, and sit straight up as well as having adjustable head rest. I will add more pics later to show.

I'm 6'3" the adjustment on these seats are great. Plenty of leg room. I'm also about 300lbs., so if I can fit in them comfortably, anybody can lol

To chevyCUCV, fyi they came out of a single cab ford. When I went to the junk yard, I sat in the seats while they were still in the truck and it had good leg room, not quite as much as in my 1009, enough. OH YEAH, the driver seat also has adjustable lumbar support.

I'll take some measurements then
As long as the seat mounts were not moved forward, i can live with it.

those look SHARP! I have a 2002 superduty lariat and have to say for whatever reason the seats are not that impressive. I feel like on turns im sliding out of the seat all the time and its a superduty, so im not cornering like I do in my BMW. Its weird, but the old seats in my m1009 are a dream, tall backs and hold me snug in the turns and off road. But prices for re building the old cucv seats are way more then 150 at the junk yard, some bolts and some time with the welder.
Again very nice looking mod!

Just bought a set off of ebay...brand new out of a 2017 Ford F250. Need to fab up some mounts for the tracks so I don't drill any holes in the floor. Man are they comfortable!
