1995 F-250 seat swap.
Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum and just picked up a 1995 F-250 2 wheel drive with the 5.8 in it. Has 100,000 miles and had sat for 8-10 years. I personally think it is in spectacular shape even from the Pa. winters. No rust at all on any of the cab mount areas. I'm sure its from the fact that it sat for so long.
My question is, are there any direct swap in models of seats to upgrade to? It has the bench in it now and I have the opportunity for a set of buckets and center console from a 1997 F-250. Will that be an easy upgrade or do I need certain other seat rails? Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

There's a lot of posts about seat swaps but the long and short of it is:
If it comes from a reg cab or crew cab they interchange. Remember the rear seat in the crew won't tilt forward.
If they come from a Bronco or Super Cab they'll require some fab work.
With that said there is a bracket on some seats (the 40/20/40) that allow you to bolt the seats to and then the bracket bolts in the 4 bench seat mounting points. That makes bench to buckets really easy but the bracket can be hard to find.
Good luck with your swap
