seat swap

I figured I'd ask here before I waste time. Can I swap out my seat, I own a 96 f250 reg cab with a seat from a similar yr bronco? If so will I need any type of seat adapter kit?

yes and no. if it is a similar cab style, like a single cab to single cab bench seat, they will bolt rite in.
bucket seats and bronco seats will need extra holes drilled in the floor, and reinforcement to the floor pan to keep the bolts from pulling through the floor.
it is not hard to put buckets in a bench seat truck if you can fab up reinforcement plates though.

Great I have a machine shop at work can do the fab work. Just hate the bench seat with no storage and no functional cup holders. I installed my own in the flip down armrest,looks good though

Made your own arm rest? Take a picture and show us!

I think he means he put cup holders into his fold down arm rest.

I remember you did that Brad. Did you run power to the lumbars? Curious how far off the bolt pattern is for the Super Duty bench seats.

I have not run 12v the rear seat yet. And also not sure on the SD seat bolt pattern,

I know a guy that has a leather rear bench for an SD truck. Its in black and that's my end game for my truck, to do the whole interior black. the rear seat I can see be much easier to fabricate something than the front
