I'm parting out an '81 F-100. I have the complete bench seat framework (no covering or foam). The sliders have surface rust but are solid. LMK if you're interested and/or if you'd like some pics.

definitely interested. I need to research if they will work. please send pic of what's available. Is the connecting rod between the sliders ok?

The 'connecting rod' is actually a thin piece of wire and there were a series of springs that attached the adjuster handle to the passenger side slider. Unfortunately, my Flare Side needs these so I'm keeping them.

Since the sliders are what bolt to the floor and supposedly 1980-96 are interchangeable, these should work. But, do some research to be sure.

I will get some pics this afternoon.

The front floors for the Bullnose trucks are in two varieties:

Regular cabs and crew cabs have the same front floor

Supercabs and Broncos have the same front floor.  These were the only ones that got bucket seats from the factory, and these won't bolt into a regular or crew cab floor directly.

Seems that they will work. I'm ok with the springs missing. Are you willing to ship? I'm in Georgia. I'm not real tech savvy, what does LMK mean?

The F-100 parts truck is a regular cab. Here are some pics (sorry for the delay). Two views of the driver's side slider:





Two views of the passenger side slider:





Yes, I'm willing to ship them to Georgia. They are sitting out in the elements, currently (if there seems like there's a lot of light inside that cab it's because that cab has no roof). They are not crusty with respect to the sliding action. They are still smooth. I little elbow grease and some rust-stop paint and they should last a long time.

I have no idea what these are worth. But, I would prefer to see them live on in another truck as opposed to becoming scrap. How does $60 shipped sound?
