Bucket seats???

I got my build sheet in today, I was reading through it and it says it has "blue interior trim color with bucket seats". Can anyone verify that these came with bucke seats or what it means. Thanks

I have never seen a Bumpside with factory Bucket seats. Never even heard of it until the 78 Bronco came out.

Go over to the Fordification site and take a look at pics in the technical section for the interior. Ford offered buckets as an option in bumps which were the same as early Mustang seats. If ya don't have brackets, there's a PDF available with measurements.

Personally, I plan to install 69-early 70 Mustang seats (if I can find a set at the swap meet), the ones with a separate headrest. IIRC, the late 70 and 71-73 Stangs had high-back bucket seats which would also look pretty good.

The bucket seat reference seems to be a fairly common mistake on those Ford sourced information sheets. If yours has the bench and no extra seat mounting holes in the floor, just ignore the line. Ford robbed the buckets right out of the Mustang parts bin for the 67-72 trucks; they are listed under the Mustang part number in the truck parts books.
