F-550 Front bench to bucket swap

We have an 03 F-550 extended cab with a front bench being used as a fire engine. If anyone tall is driving it makes the back seat unusable. We would like to swap out the bench seat for either captain seats with a custom console or the bucket seats with the fold down console. What seats would be interchangeable with our make and model of truck? Where is a good place to check for seats? (Ebay's prices seem crazy and google didnt turn up much) Does anyone have any other recomendations we may not have considered?

Depending on the seatbelt configuration 99-10 model year seats will fit. Are your seatbelts coming out of the seat back or on the pillar

Check your local junk yard for seats out of a rollover. You can usually pick them up pretty cheap and fine some out of a newer wreck that are still in good condition.

The only other thing to look for would be if you need seat belt pretensioners.
If you need then and the seat does not have them it a pain.
If the seat has then and you don't need them then no problem.
Just don't use a ohm meter to check them you WILL SET IT OFF
