A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Ford F150 and SVT Lightning, 1999 to 2004. Part number SB188.
The Lightning is the reason this exists
Ford’s Special Vehicle Team put a supercharged 5.4 V8 in a lowered, two wheel drive F150 and produced something that would out-accelerate most sports cars of the period. It held a production pickup speed record for years.
That is a genuinely different vehicle from a standard F150, and it wants a different seat: a Lightning being used for drag or fast road work needs holding, where an ordinary work truck of the same years wants a comfort upgrade over a seat that has collapsed.
Tell us which you have and what it is for.
Getting rare
Lightnings have appreciated considerably and the good ones are looked after. The bracket picks up the factory mounting points so nothing is cut.
Practical
Twenty five years old. Get the mat up and check the metal round the mounting points before you spend.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026, and Customer Car: Subaru Impreza With Corbeau RRS Seats and Planted Technology Brackets. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Ford F150 / SVT Lightning (1999-2004). Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
