Seat swap help

I want to do a seat swap in my 88 crew cab. I need help with which seats interchange and what mods need to be done if any

I found this seat in a single cab brick nose



I found these buckets for an extended cab brick nose



And I found these buckets from a 92 crew cab



What cab configurations and body style trucks interchange?

FYI, whatever seat I choose will be recovered so condition and color doesn't matter

What he said.

And the last seat you showed is NOT the factory seat in there. Looks like it came out of a car

I know those last ones aren't stock. The last owner modified the original seat bracket.

Will buckets from a 92-97 crew cab go right in?

Those mounts on the seat rails aren't crew cab. A single cab and crew will have the seats all bolted to one rail that is itself bolted to the floor. The extended cab trucks have a center console that is mounted to a frame that is itself bolted to the inside rails of the two outer seats. That pic is extended cab.

A crew will have four bolts on the bottom frame. Not 8.

Those seats are from a super cab and they are NOT buckets. They are a 40-20-40.
Also they will NOT not into your truck.

In order of them to bolt into your truck, you would need a seat pan from a reg cab or crew cab that had a 40-20-40. You will ALSO need the seat tracks from the 40-20-40 as well. the super cab tracks will make the seat sit 2-4" higher
