I definitely liked the older original bench seat when I bought my truck, It reminded me of my grandpas truck the way the old interior smelled. But I am also a father and my daughter loves to cruise in the truck. I want to grow old with her and she with me. The late 90's Ford F-350 bench seats fit in relatively easy with only a little welding on the front bracket. When I bought mine for $25 at a swap it was in pretty good condition but I had it re upholstered to match the color of the truck but also the stitch pattern of the original bench. I am 5'10" and my arm rests nicely on top of the bench and the palm of my hand rests on the vertical portion of the passenger head rest. I will soon be getting shoulder belts.
